Re: Dual head graphics card for HP 5100 MT?? Help!!

Well, I have a PCI-Express card which is dual head and it does not
fit the pinouts of either of the slots I see on the motherboard. I did
not count the pin outs, but I can do that...

Anyway, the two slots looks kind of like this, as far as pinouts:

Back of the machine Front of the machine

I don't see any other slots which would take a graphics card, just
two slots.

Is it possible that this box has NO ability to take another graphics
card? Does anyone know? I will try to look up PCI-E versus PCI-X. Can
anyone recommend a dual head card for this machine?

Thanks,

Larry
