Hi,
I have an older somewhat modified Dell xps r400. I would like to change over the video card from an oem 8mb-STB nVidia Velocity ZX card serving my oem 19-inch Dell D1226H monitor, to a 64mb-ATI 7500 Radeon AIW card. I goal it to add TV viewing with video editing and improve game performance. I have but the one AGP slot and no remaining PCI slots available.
My curisosity involves looking at the setup: the monitor has a control card which is connected to the video card via a multi-pinned cable. The much newer ATI card does not have the same cable connection on-board. According to ATI, they say that improvements made in technology are employed onto their card, which does not require hardwiring to the monitor and/or control card.
Does anyone have any experience with such a setup? Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you and Regards,
