VGA & HDMI (or DVI) both on same card?

[navychop]

I'm trying to piece together a system, looking mostly at Dell and NewEgg. I plan to run my current VGA monitor for a while, then both it and a widescreen LCD for a while, then just the LCD.

The proposed dual monitor systems all appear to have only 2 DVI ports.

Is there such an animal as a video card with VGA and DVI or VGA and HDMI? Recommendations?

This is what I use:

Newegg.com - ASUS EAH3450/DI/256M Radeon HD 3450 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Low Profile Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Works fine for me.

Usually, such video card include an adapter (or two) what will convert DVI to VGA connector. Or you could ask IT guys, they are thrown away them.

You could get one of these. Newegg.com - PNY VCQFX5800-PCIE-PB Quadro FX5800 4GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Supported Workstation Video Card - Workstation Graphics / Video Cards

All of these should work

You'll only be able use 2 ports at a time though. Any combination should be fine.

He don't need new card - that adapter would be enough and much less expensive then FX Quadro 4 GB.

Yes, I'm leaning toward using an adapter. I just hate adding a new piece of 3rd party hw to the equation. In the event of trouble, just look at all the finger pointing......

Most of the cards/motherboards come with the adapter. It just takes the analog pins on the DVI cable and routes them to the VGA pins. Check the card or motherboard specs you are considering, you will probably find the adapter listed in the included parts.
