Hi!

I've got a Gateway FPD1500 LCD monitor connected to a ATI 3D RAGE LT Pro card. I want to get a better card, preferably a Geforce2/3, but I can't get any information from Gateway if the FPD1500 has got a DVI-port or any other that will allow me to use it with a new card.

It is manufactured in may 1999, P/N 7001475, S/N L5004C008519.

Any tips?

TIA /Jonas

According to Gateway's site, you will need to get a Digital Connetor to run you LCD screen. If you have the money, I would recommend the ATI card that is comming out soon, either the Radeon 7500 or the Radeon 8500. If you don't want to wait that long, or spend $200-$400:) you can get the Radeon VE for around $100. All three of these cards will support any monitor that you may have, the VE will be the slowest, with the 8500 being the fastest.

If it works for you then don't fix it.
