Howdy,

I have a server i am running using this MOBO...
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon800/E7520/X6DH8-G.cfm

It has a 8mb built on video card and i need to attach 2 samsung 930b monitors to this..

I do have 2x pci-e slots but there 8x and i cannot seam to find a video card for it..
The mobo does have some 64 bit pci slots but no video cards for that as well..

So does that mean i am pretty much stuck with running a pci ATi 9250 video card.. If so can a power 2 samsung 930b's running 1280 x 1024

This server will be doing mostly 2d apps some full motion video and no games..

Thanks
 
If you're just doing 2D work than any PCI card should be fine as long as it supports dual monitors. I think there's a way to mod the 8x PCIe slot to fit a 16x, but I dont think it'd be worth risking your entire mobo for.
 
hmmm unless i hear any suggestions i think the ati 9250 is gonna win lol..

Grr wish i had agp or 16x pci-e on this..


Thanks again
