• HP Compaq dx2000 format Microtour - upgrading graphic support dual monitor?

  Hi, I have a question about the HP Compaq dx2000 format Microtour. The link to the form is here:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&ContentType=support...

  I was asked to provide a solution for this machine that will support dual monitor. Can someone tell me please on a possible graphics card I buy (probably second-hand) that will be compatible with the motherboard on this machine and will also support dual monitor?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello:

  If you only run XP and don't have no plan to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7 and just VGA (not DVI) output, this PCI video card should work for you, and your machine has only PCI slots.

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/PNY-nvidia-fx5200-Dual-VGA-DDR-256MB-video-card-PCI-/160704820819?PT=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item256ac0f653

  You will need to read the installation manual on the support page and the driver of your PC because I believe that you need to change a setting in the BIOS to the PCI card to the video card main.

  Or you can search for a similar PCI card with a DMS-59 output with video split cable that goes to two monitors.

• Absolutely the best possible upgrade for a Dell Dimension C521 graphics card?

  I've been upgraded to a Dell Dimension C521, that I use as a general computer and play games.

  I know that he will never play in recent games, although with the x 1300 pro that was in it when I got it I have successfully played 2 games or 3 years and more. Runs of Prince of Persia: the forgotten sands, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Darksiders without any problem (all parameters lowish and resolution 800 x 600).

  Since I got it I upgraded the CPU to an AMD Athlon 64 x 2 5600 + (Windsor) and the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB, which has cost me about £25.

  I really want to update the graphics card to something better than the Radeon x 1300 Pro that I have atm. I am aware that the PSU is only 280W and I need a map of low profile for this machine, although I read Dell generally insufficiently misses their PSUS in any case. All the posts I can find here and elsewhere online seem to be old enough and I wanted to make sure that I had discovered so far had not become outdated.

  So far, I found that the recommended card is the Radeon HD 6570.

  Can anyone suggest something better? If not, can anyone suggest what specific version of the 6570 to get (Sapphire, Asus etc.) and the amount of memory to get with it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Squall88uk

  Can anyone suggest something better?

  XFX R7 240 Low Profile Ready

  30 watts TDP, against 54 watts TDP for the 6570. Faster, too.

  A version of the R7 240 GDDR5 will be even faster, but more money, as well.

• Dell Dimension C521 does not start

  I have a Dell Dimension C521 desktop computer. When I try to start it, the fan turns on and is really hard, but the screen does not light. The power light on my computer lights up (green), but the 3 & 4 diagnostic lights flash repeatedly on the front of the computer. What is the cause? What can I do about it?

  NetFanatic123

  Hello Bev,

  The rest green power light on, no blinking, no beeps. I had no problem until last night after that I removed the hard drive and reinstalled.

  How can I remove the memory modules?

  Thanks :)

   

  NetFanatic123

  For the removal and reinstallation of the RAM, details are HERE NOTE from the ADMIN: broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  A hint: make sure that the modules are filled into the slots and the clips are in the notches.

  While the case is open, check that all the power cable and the data are correctly connected to the drive and the motherboard, by removing and reconnecting them.

  Why the hard disk has been deleted and reinstalled, was this HD replacement, or what?

• Dual monitor Dell and your Sharp TV screen

  I have a Dell 3008WFP monitor and a TV Sharp LC52LE810UN of. The monitor is connected using DVI and the TV is connected using HDMI. In 'screen resolution' the recommended setting for the Dell monitor is 2560 x 1600. It is a 2 monitor. I can't double bill for work. correctly. The resolution gets blurred. The only way I can make it work is to expand the display. It has already used to work when it is used my Samsung P2770 monitor.

  I am running Windows 7 and my graphics card is NVIDIA GEForce 310.

  Can someone please.

  Hi ManajitSengupta,

  You want to hope that it is not a compatibility problem, because that could leave you a GROUND for a solution. Assuming that everyone even working on a solution. I had a few problems after the upgrade of Vista that never existed when running the Windows 7 RC on the same computer. The cause of a problem is not necessarily in a straight line between Win7 and the problem device. The only things I can think of now are the driver/software standard, tedious, technical troubleshooting. Starting by ' screens exhibit the same behavior when a simple SVGA driver is all that is installed? »

  Some device of even difficult problems have been resolved by reinstalling

• Dell Dimension C521 CPU Upgrade

  Hi all. I have a Dimension C521 (feat) and I would like my CPU from a AMD Sempron (TM) Processor 3400 + ~1.8GHz to an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000 3.0 GHz 2 MB socket AM2 89W ADA6000IAA6CZ. But I'm not sure about a few things, that's why I'm here. I would like to know:

  • If the AMD Athlon 64 6000 works with my computer of x 2
  • What is the recommended BIOS
  • If the fan the C521 comes with is good enough to keep it cool
  • If a 280W 955.39BTU / h Maximum PSU is fine
  • If you have any questions = D

  Here is the owner's manual, if it'll help - ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-c521_owner ' s%20manual_en-us.pdf

  Also, if I had to update my GPU, what would you recommend?

  xXEblisXx

  The Athlon 64 X 2 6000 + 3.0 Ghz, 89W Windsor, will work.

  Before installing the processor, make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS version installed 1.1.11, with BIOS version 1.1.4 support AMD has been added.

  The default fan and the PSU should be fine.

• Supported dual monitor on a virtual machine

  I've recently started working with VM.  One of my first tasks is to improve close Citrix to raise more than two servers citrix virtualization.  What I've done.  It works fine too, but some people began to ask questions on two monitors.  99% of my environment is managed by thinclients.  I have not found is when a user is connected to one of the physical citrix servers there is no problem with the double screens, but when they are saved in one of the citrix virtual servers the bi-ecrans is as if it were a screen instead of a true dual monitor.  Is it possible to configure the virtual machine to support two monitors.  I tried to change the settings of the machine under the video card, but when I change to support 2 monitors, and then click OK, it it changes just back to one.  Someone at - it guidance on how this could be done or if I am barking the wrong tree?

  Help us those in need, so when we are in need we will be assisted.  Isn't this what computer scientists are for.

  your best bet on that is going to be the 3rd party.  Another use of the/span option in RDP, you may want to look something like http://www.splitview.com/

• Dell Dimension C521 and E521 CPU upgrade

  I'm new to the community and it's my first Article post

  I own and use C521 E521 wood version 1.1.11 8/2/2007 and the legacy of SMBIOS 2.4

  E521 use Amd Athlon 64 X 2 4400 + 2.4 Ghz 2 MB Am2 Winsor

  C521 use Amd Athlon 64 X 2 5600 + 2.80 Ghz 2 MB Am2 Winsor

  and I went to upgrade to

  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000 3.0 Ghz 2 MB Am2 OR / AND

  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6400 Am2 3.2 Ghz 2 MB

  is support for Socket AM2 TDP 95W, OR / AND support 125W TDP.

  I'm not familiar with the terms TDP 89W, 95W, and 125W

  is - anyone from the community can explain to the deferential, and what is the best to use in my systems.

  I appreciate the comments on this article.

  Hello!  I'm not a total expert in what is the updates, usually only Dell tested and approved processors can enter their motherboards.  If ever, they sold the series 6xxx with this motherboard then it probably won't work.  He must also look out for to ensure that BIOS recognize and use the new processor and with a machine at that age, Dell probably will not update of the BIOS to support.  With regard to the TDP, which is basically you indicating the maximum power assumed that the CPU uses to the maximum, not including memory, chipset, HARD drive, etc...  Then you must also make sure that your diet is sufficient to handle everything.  Based on what you have and what you are looking for, in my opinion that I don't think you will see a bump really good performance by upgrading the CPU.

• Update Dell Dimension C521

  Hey guys,.

  I recently took a C521 and I spent reviewing the forums here for a while looking to upgrade my system.

  What I found so far has been really helpful! So far, I ordered:

  AMD Athlon X 2 3 GHz Windsor

  2 GB of RAM

  I have an old hard drive that I will modernize and perhaps a boot in the future SSD drive.

  The only problem that I face is getting a video card that will be ok with the system!

  I was watching a NVIDIA GT630, which is low profile, but I don't know if this is a good card, or if it will draw much power over the stock power supply.

  Anyone has good card recommendations or advice they could give me it please?

  Thank you very much!

  A lot of cards Low profile will not physically go let alone work with a power of 250W. The ASUS EAH5450 works in all models except USFF.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814121365

  That's why they put 25W max on the machine video slot for many low profile systems.

  .

  

  You cannot use such a THICK card. That's why Dell cards are fanless.

• Yes or not - is VMware Fusion 3.1 support dual monitors in Windows 7 x 64?

  I want just a definitive answer or no two monitors will work in a Windows 7 64 bit guest.

  I am running 3.0.2 and two monitors do not work properly in Windows 7 64 bit - the second monitor is displayed but I can't drag windows or with the right button on the extended desktop.  This feature works as expected in 32-bit Windows XP SP3.

  EDIT: I refer to the mode full screen. I'm not interested in the unit or any other mode (although, curiously, the unit has the same bug).

  david01010, jrreedy16: two things to check off the top of my head: are you sure tools are updated and installed correctly (for example uninstall tools, restart the comments necessary, install tools) and you have a third party mouse (or other entry) drivers installed in the comments or on the host?

• Onboard video Inspiron 660 supports two monitors?

  Hello

  I just got a new 660 Insipron and wasn't able to set up two monitors with the integrated video card. I have connected a monitor via the VGA to VGA-in output and the other by the HDMI to DVI-in via a converter. I can get video with output VGA or HDMI-out single, but not both. Is it because that the integrated video card do support a monitor at the same time? Thank you.

  arborglen

  Hi Arborglen,

  Welcome to the Dell Community.

  I understand that you are however technically it is not possible to set up two monitors with the integrated video card. If you want to configure dual monitor with the computer, and then you add a graphics card with support dual monitor to get the functionality.

  Answer please if you have any questions.

  Thank you best regards &,.

• Dual monitor problems / external

  I recently bought a netbook NB200/007 and want to use two monitors (mainly for display of pictures etc on larger screens)

  It came preloaded with Windows 7 starter, after having found that the Starter edition did not support dual monitor that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium, but I'm still not yet to make it work.

  When the external monitor is connected, the netbook picks it up and sets up two monitors, but the external screen does not light (it remains in standby mode) I tried several different resolutions and also tried to use the external monitor as a single screen by selecting the option to have it as my main screen.

  If anyone has a suggestion of how I could get it to work, I would greatly appreciate.

  Kind regards.

  Hi puma325,
  install the 'value added package.
  This will add some features like "Fn + F5" for switching the display...

• HP 251-a123w: I have a Setup dual monitor using VGA and DVI - D ports?

  I want to connect my HP 22uh monitor to my office using a DVI - D to DVI - D configuration.  Then I would like to complete a Setup dual monitor by connecting an Acer X193w monitor to my office using a VGA VGA configuration.

  Is this possible?  Two ports on my desktop computer can be used at the same time to support dual monitor?

  I see that the cables double monitor are in the form of Y and I thought that maybe a single port may be used simultaneously.  If someone knew this information then it would save some time & money on experimentation...

  Monitor HP 22uh was bundled with my new desktop PC and I cleaned the Acer to my now deceased Vista system.  It is in very good condition, would like to add.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about the use of the video taken two DVI and VGA and wanted to help.

  According to the technical specifications of HP for your PC, both of these jacks can be used at the same time.
  
  Good luck
