Just purchased a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX AGP Dual-Head Video card and found
it didnt have two standard video outputs but one standard port and a
DVI port. Can anyone explain what the DVI port if for and how could I
use it?

For an LCD monitor usually.

See http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DVI.html for a definition of DVI.
Unless you have a monitor with a DVI cable to connect it, you cannot use
this output.

Sean, Great site, $7 included fedex shipping. It arrived and the pin
config is slightly different. The adapter has a spade with two pins
each side and the one on the card has three spades, that are smaller
with no pins each side. Has anyone seen this type and can an adapter
be purchased?
