I built a new computer but the motherboard doesnt have a dvi or crt port

Can i buy one to install in a pcei/pci slot?
 
for pci-e boards its called an ADD2 adaptor for DVI or HDMI output for onboard vid cards
for agp boards its called ADD adaptor

whats there to hurt he has a mobo with onboard video
and he wants dvi output for it
he stated he has pci-e/pci slots

therefore i said that he needs to buy an ADD2 card which would give him his dvi output or he could also get an ADD2 card that would give him hdmi output

and if he had a board with an agp slot he could buy an ADD card which is the same thing as the ADD2 except its for agp
 
Where exactly did he specify that his mobo has onboard video?

I've never seen a board with onboard video that DOESN'T have at least a DB25 VGA output. If he doesn't have compatable onboard video one of these RARELY used ADD/ADD2 cards won't do jack squat for him.

Sounds to me as if the OP bought a mobo WITHOUT onboard video and has never seen one before. In this case, you simply need to buy a Videocard.
 
Thanks please close this topic

I bought the ecs c-19a and doesnt have a onboard and i did buy a geforce 7600gt i missed the delivery man.
 
Your 7600GT will have the VGA and DVI ports you're looking for...just in case you're still wondering. ;)

sorry my bad i thought he had onboard video and was asking for dvi

btw its called a DB15 VGA not DB25
DB25 is the size of the parrallel port or old 25pin serial port
