i was going to send it to LoKe, but i'm not sure. that way he can have video while his card is rma'ing :)
 
we have those kinds of things in our dells at the lab i work at

idk tho, but it is what we plug into....
 
It looks like a "port relay card"

Relays the internal DVI connection from the board to a card style...
 
If I *had* to guess, I'd say it's some way of providing the onboard video chip with DVI output (most onboard video is VGA, which may not work with some LCDs).

so the board needs to have onboard video?
 
It looks like it may be an add-in board to supply a DVI interface for embedded video...but I'm no expert...

*Wow...in the time it took me to reply...you guys had already answered...*
 
I honestly dont know... It just LOOKS like a relay card!

That tiny chip on it worries me. There's no WAY something that small could drive a dvi signal!

There isn't even ANY ram on the card!

nono, I know what it is... but I really dont get the humour behind your post! No offence or anything lol, I'm just curious (and braindead, in the middle of a 4 hour class).

**EDIT** OHHHHHHHHH NOW I get it. hahaha, Good one! (jesus christ Arcy)
 
yes, it's a relay card

i just opened up one of the comps, saw that it had IGP, and imo, case closed


those things evidently really help fps in WoW tho, which might be worth it to those people that are freaky bout that game

See...it happened again...you edited before I replied... :D
 
I really WANT one of those Killer NIC's. They're fucking sick.

They dont do much for your network lag (and 270$ for a ONE port card is so stupid) but man, if they had 2-3 1gb ethernet ports on them! I'd be ALL over it.

Imagine transferring files between 2 computers at like 50MB/s
