Can I keep the onboard adapter enabled when I install a dedicated video card in the HP DC7700?
Hi all,
I have an HP DC7700 with onboard video. I've installed an nVidia Quadro NVS 285 (dual monitor) card. By default the onboard video is disabled automatically as soon as you install a PCI-E card.
Anyone know if it's possible to enable it and use both to run 3 displays?
Thanks,
Dave

No any Video card intalled on machine will disable the Mb vga, and that cause the mb can not dual read bus circut and slot circut toghther if successful to read the card the machine will halt and will not start up the os
Both answers above are correct, this won't be supported. One main reason is due to the difference in video chipsets on the MB and video card. The OS can only run one set of drivers for video.
If you require another video output, you could probably install an Nvidea PCI video card that would be compatible with the driver installed for the quadro

Thanks all for your comments! I've decided based on your comments to purchase a 2nd video card (PCI) and augment to 3 displays.
