Looking for Video Card Advice
This card has a standard 32-bit PCI interface. The 64-bits is the data
path between the graphics memory and graphics processor on the card. On Sat, 15 Sep 2007 14:40:00 -0700, AzPhotoGuy wrote: I this 64 bit ? My machine is running 32 bit vista.

I am a professional phhotographer and live within numerous applications that utilize dual monitor setups. While my existing FX-2000 does OK with single monitor, it is slower than $#*&% with dual monitor use (is actually un-usably slow). I plan on updating to 64 bit Vista, but waiting for some drivers will make that upgrade about 6 months or so away. At that time I will buy a completely new machine, start from scratch and toss the old machine along with this video card that I buy away. My current HP workstation has two Xeon processors, 4 GB RAM, SCSI drives but is limited to a PCI (NOT PCI-E) for video. All I can seem to find are PCI-E cards. Can anyone recomened a good video card, that supports dual monitors, runs fast in Vista 32 BIT and is PCI NOT PCI-E. Based on the PCI and NO PCI-E requirement, I am guessing I have have to try to find one on eBay, but I need a Vendor / Model # to look for. |
