Just check out the cards on the back - it should have the small round
port that a 60GX plug would fit into. The NuVision site has a list of
cards that are compatible with their emitters. I don't remember them
all right off, but it's fairly straightforward.
By the way, I buy all my video cards and memory on e-bay. Those quadro
FX cards are often packaged in Dell systems that are leased to
companies, and when the leases are up, the cards get parted out. I've
purchased at least 7 this way, only paying 1/3 or so for each (compared
to retail prices). I haven't had an issue with any thus far (until
today that is - I'm sure something will happen now). Be sure to check
the vendors out, but it is a source that isn't too crazy. I don't
remember the prices I paid, but it was small compared to buying them new
online somewhere. As I furnished 6 computers at once, I looked for
package deals (they were even better).
Good luck with that.
