hey guys,

 

I am using a HP Compaq dc5700 Desktop PC as a media server under my big screen in my living room.

It is running windows 7 and is attached to my network. I stream all of my network content through it to the TV using the VGA cable and mini plug in to the stereo for sound.

 

That all works just fine but I wanted to switch it over to using HDMI. SO I just bought a low profile Geforce with HDMI installed it in the PCI Express port and got this error.

 

"

922 - This System Only supports SDVO Add2 in the X16 slot"

 

do they even make Add2 cards that have HDMI ports in them? I have not been able to find anything about this online that does me any good.

 

I have been building and fixing computers since the early 90's and I have never even heard of this before. I do have some Nvidia Quatro cards that were in these machines but they are not what I need.

is there any other way to get HDMI out of this machine???

I had absolutely no idea what an ADD2 card was - had to go look it up.

 

The same search on google also threw this up: http://www.avforums.com/forums/computer-systems/458619-hdmi-add2-boards-do-they-really-exist.html. Specifically post #11. Bear in mind though, that it was over 6 years ago - it's not going to be easy to find such an old piece of hardware.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client.

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
