Re: Graphics on Elite 7100 Microtower

No. These systems do not allow use of both a discrete graphics card (your ATI card) and internal graphics at the same time. If you need additional monitor ports, you have three options:

1) Replace the ATI video card with a different video card with the desired number of video connections. The video card used to replace the ATI card can be any chipset (ATI/AMD, NVidia).

2) Add a second ATI/AMD-based video card to one of the PCIe x1 slots. Make sure to find a card specifically designed for x1 - x16 cards will not fit in the x1 slots. The card MUST be ATI/AMD based, installing mixed vendor graphics cards can lead to nasty driver conflict issues.

3) Use a USB graphics adapter for additional monitors. These connect to USB 2.0 ports and provide additional video connections to DVI or VGA compatible monitors. Part # NL571AA (or SmartBuy part # NL571AT in the US) is available from HP and is such an adapter.

Hope this helps!
