  2. I looked at that system but over here Dell lists among other options :

    "Nvidia Quadro NVS 290" no mention of "Quadro".

    So does this card support 2 monitors or 4 ? (Dell reps are useless)
    I don't think I can put two of those cards in a Precison, again the problem of the PCI e slot....

    Maybe if there are two PCI slots available in Dell systems I could try and put an old PCI video card in there IF I find one .

    There is only one "290".. it's the Nvidia Quadro NVS 290. It's PCIEx16, and supports 2 monitors. (There is also an NVS 290 PCIEx1)


    The T3400 has TWO PCIEx16 slots.

  5. Yep, each NVS-290 has 2 hook-ups via the cable that is included with the T3400.

    There are two PCIEx16 slots on the T3400 motherboard, thus allowing for TWO of the NVS-290s . . . which equals support for 4 monitors!
