Unless you have a monitor with a DVI cable to connect it, you cannot use this output. -- __________________________________________________ __________ ** Share with others.

Sean, Great site, $7 included fedex shipping. It arrived and the pin
config is slightly different. The adapter has a spade with two pins each side and the one on the card has three spades, that are smaller with no pins each side. Has anyone seen this type and can an adapter be purchased?
