Need new video card, small form factor with 2 dvi/vga ports...suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions, my research tonight also had suggested that the 7750 was my best bet probably. Looking forward to getting out of the stone age of video cards. :)

Need new video card, small form factor with 2 dvi/vga ports...suggestions?

Basically as the title says, I'm looking for a video card to go with my Dell E521 (yes, really old, lol). I ordered a 7790 Radeon thinking that would be awesome and it does look awesome, however I've been out of the game so long (six years since I've posted here I think) that I didn't realize...

Kansas City Home Loan question

Hey-- Other than this place, I couldn't really think of anywhere else to ask. I just relocated to the Kansas City area, in the market for a house. What I'm unsure of though is where the best place in town is to go for mortgage rates. Usually credit unions have the best rates, but the ones...

Hey-- Had this computer for about 3 years, it's a pentium 4 2.66 ghz with 512 mb ram and a 80 gig hard drive (9800 pro graphics card). In any case, it's getting a little slow to play some of today's games like company of heroes, Heroes of might and magic 5, etc (seems like the hard drive...

An opengl program and direct3d program at the same time

Hey-- Not sure if any of you have any experience with this or not. In any case, we're trying to run an opengl app and directx app at the same time on one of our computers at work. The problem is, when the opengl app opens up it basically freezes everything graphically. My guess is that...

Games like Baldur's Gate with Multiplayer

I thought NWN1 sucked after playing through Bg1 and Bg2 (and the Icewind Dales). It was just really boring with only one character, a big part of the fun is getting your party setup to attack and when that's not there it's just sort of empty. Taylor34
