Hi everyone,
Having bought a new monitor, I find that the onboard video chipset in
my PeeCee isn't quite up to the job of driving it.
The PC is rather old, but has an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) slot
for a graphics card. According to the motherboard manual it's
described as 1.5V_AGP1 (AGP 8X).
The monitor is a 22 inch widescreen 1920x1080 (16:9 aspect ratio) AOC
monitor, annoyingly with VGA connector only (I forgot to check if it
had digital connections - DVI and HDMI - before buying it, ah
well...).
Although the monitor does scale other modes, it looks awful,
especially with text in QPC, as you'd expect from an LCD monitor being
run at anything other than its optimal resolution.
If anyone has an AGP graphics card (must be 1.5V, the motherboard
manual says it must not be a 3.3 volt type to avoid damage) they'd
like to sell, please contact me off list.
Sorry about being a little off topic with this, I'd prefer to offer
first chance to buy from a fellow QLer if anyone has a card they'd
like to sell me. (I guess it'd have to be a UK seller, postage from
abroad might be more than the card is worth)
TIA,
Dilwyn Jones
