Hello All,
I have a little issue here. I am I guess a former 3d designer, I am in a management spot (It is boring).
I am not too technical so here it goes.
After my promotion I was provided a TV its 42". I work long hours sometimes and I have a vongo account and I would like to watch the Movies on the TV. The computer only has 2 DVI inputs. So before I continue let me tell you the specifications of everything I am using.
They are all custom computers because my boss is cheap.
Black Big Case
ACPI x64 based pc
ATA Device (I think its the hard drive)
WD External USB Device (Probably the External Hard drive)
Nvidia Quadro FX 4500
ATAPI DVD ATA Device (DVD Drive)
I think theres 6 usb devices connected
I have an old ipod I have had for years it uses firewire and its connected
wireless keyboard and mouse
(2) 24" Samsung Syncmaster 245BW
Marvell Yukon PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
I see (4) Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.00 GHz
SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio
There are tbs of memory and 8 gb of memory
I listed my specifications so someone can hopefully help me to get what I need.
I really like the Windows Media Center and I want to add a second video card to watch things on my computer on the tv and also listen to music. Our computers at work do not have speakers.
Here is more bad news for me! I have to pay for the additions.
Here are my questions:
Do I need more power to add another video card?
Do I need to buy matching video cards or can I buy a different one?
The Motherboard is made for Crossfire, Do I need to buy crossfire compatible cards to use 2 video cards?
Does anyone know a solution that doesn't require me to add things inside my computer?
Thanks in advance. The computer is a tad outdated I think and I hope no one is jealous or anything because its not even mine, its our companies.
I am computer dumb so I really need your help!
