Yeah, but it's VERY old. What exactly do you need a PCI vid card for?

I belive I've got an old Nvidia one. I've have to put the heat sink back on but that's not a problem.

I need an extra card so I can hook up my 2nd monitor that I've had laying around for a few months doing nothing.

It's too annoying to unplug the cable from my projector and plug it into the other monitor whenever I want to use it, and vise versa, so I need a 3rd VGA/DVI port.

So? What kind of cards are they? How much would you want for them?

Ya I went and looked at it. It's an AGP slot. Now I DO have a PCI vid card. VERY old, made by a company called S3. From what I remember about it, it was a crappy card even back then. If you wanna pay shipping I'll send it to you for nothing. It's just gathering dust here.

I may have my old Nvidia TNT. It's yours if you want it, no charge. I'll check and see exactly what I have.

All it needs to do is be able to render Windows + applications. I won't be gaming/watching any videos on it.

I don't want both, but I'm not sure which one would be better. I'd have to assume the nVidia one.

The availability of drivers for Windows 7 is an issue too. The TNT card is from '98.

*checked*

Yup. No Win 7 drivers for the TNT, from nVidia at least.

It might work with Windows' built in drivers, but who knows.

Well, I don't need one anymore. My new VGA cable came in the mail today, and it turns out that the VGA output on my projector is pass-through, so it doesn't even need to be on, and I can plug in my other monitor.

Thanks for the offers anyway. :P
