But I remember installing it and getting some sort of sound out of it around 1991 or so. Doubtless 16-bit. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

With desktop peripherals, laptops/notebooks ARE desktops. - (CRConrad) - (21) - June 11, 2020, 05:56:18 AM EDT

As long as there's a dock so I only need to fiddle with one plug -NT - (drook) - (1) - June 10, 2020, 06:18:05 PM EDT

Yeah, that would be even nicer. - (CRConrad) - June 10, 2020, 07:10:01 PM EDT

"install a dual monitor video card"... When was this, in 1987? - (CRConrad) - (17) - June 11, 2020, 05:59:45 AM EDT

A lot of desktops have embedded video. - (static) - (16) - June 11, 2020, 11:49:31 PM EDT

Which was the case here. - (Andrew Grygus) - (5) - June 12, 2020, 01:37:54 AM EDT

Utterly fucking weird. - (CRConrad) - (4) - June 12, 2020, 05:10:04 AM EDT

Hey, I'm using one of those low-profile HP desktops - (drook) - June 12, 2020, 12:20:04 PM EDT

It wouldn't have mattered much - (scoenye) - (2) - June 12, 2020, 05:51:03 PM EDT

Preach it - (pwhysall) - (1) - June 13, 2020, 02:31:52 AM EDT

What's "embedded" video, if not what laptops have had since... Idunno, the Bronze Age? - (CRConrad) - (9) - June 12, 2020, 05:04:16 AM EDT

Looking at the back of mine ... - (drook) - (7) - June 12, 2020, 12:22:26 PM EDT

OK, no USB Type C, of course... But no DisplayPort (2007) or HDMI (2003)? Or even DVI (1999)?!? -NT - (CRConrad) - (6) - June 12, 2020, 05:19:07 PM EDT

Notebooks here are starting to come with HDMI . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (4) - June 12, 2020, 07:08:16 PM EDT

My work laptop has only one HDMI port - (pwhysall) - (3) - June 13, 2020, 02:27:24 AM EDT

USB-C "docks" and adapters... *sigh* - (static) - (1) - June 15, 2020, 04:17:39 AM EDT

Insert standard XKCD reference here -NT - (drook) - June 15, 2020, 09:01:28 AM EDT

Nope, nope, and nope -NT - (drook) - June 13, 2020, 12:29:03 AM EDT
