<div dir="ltr">Hi Micha,<div><br></div><div>Sorry to tell you, but don't hold your hopes too high, as this guy here (<a href="http://communities.intel.com/thread/5598">http://communities.intel.com/thread/5598</a>) 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. </div>

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