[OT] looking for pci graphic boards
Despite being off topic I was hoping that someone on this list may have a couple such cards (pci based graphic boards) lying around. I know they are ancient and useless to most but maybe someone has a couple stockpiled in some attic. We got a couple of tesla boards for our Uni lab and unfortunately the motherboard we got at the moment (intel dragontail - dp35dp) only has one pci-e x16 slot and it won't post at all without a graphics card. As the tesla isn't recognized as a graphics board and it takes up the pci-e slot the only other options is a pci card. The two machines are supposed to run headless so any board that is recognized as a graphics board and fits in a pci slot will do as all it's job is to get the machine to boot. Otherwise, if someone knows how to get these motherboards to boot with no graphics card I'll be even happier.

Re: [OT] looking for pci graphic boards
Hi Micha, Sorry to tell you, but don't hold your hopes too high, as this guy here ( http://communities.intel.com/thread/5598) tried almost the same thing (2 graphics cards), and the machine didn't even do a full POST. It's a really crappy board. I thought of suggesting to use to try coreboot (LinuxBIOS) but the P35 chipset isn't supported yet.

Hi Micha,
TkOS has a large stock of ATi PCI graphic cards. Contact me off list.

x16 slot and it won't post at all without a graphics card. As the tesla isn't

options is a pci card.
The two machines are supposed to run headless so any board that is recognized
as a graphics board and fits in a pci slot will do as all it's job is to get
the machine to boot. Otherwise, if someone knows how to get these motherboards
to boot with no graphics card I'll be even happier.
