You don't have a choice but to switch to a bigger case in order to install the video card or get a external dual video adapter via USB.

Yes it does have an AGP slot, which you can confirm easily by looking at the motherboard. The AGP slot would be found at the top of the available slots and is brownish in color and slight smaller than the several white PCI slots.

As for what card to put in, that depends on your budget and needs.
If you're a gamer, spend as much as you can and go with a N-Vidia based AGP card.

If you can't use the onboard video and it does POST or the PCI-E video card does show anything, most likely the motherboard is toasted. Apparenty gateway uses real poor quality power supplie and motherboards.

I have the same system, it powers on, but nothing. All I can assume is that the motherboard is bad.

Try resetting the bios. On the motherboard there is a battery that looks like a watch battery. Remove the battery, then replace it again. (make sure the computer is unplugged from the wall socket when you do this)

Does this work?

What Add2 card will fit in the HP 5700 small frame factor?

I understand that you want to add a second display to the
HP Compaq dc5700 Small Form Factor PC. I had checked and found that the Video adapter features RAMDAC integrated (400-MHz); Controller Clock Speed: 667 MHz; Overlay Planes: One 16 bit video overlay plane; Max Color Depth: 32-bits/pixel; Multi-display Support: Support for one VGA and one DVI-D, in conjunction with an ADD2 card, clone and extended desktop modes are supported. It specifies that the clone and extended desktop modes are supported. You may try connecting the second display and check the operation. Also the computer comes with the expansion slots 2 low profile PCI, 1 low profile PCI Express x1 and 1 SDVO/ ADD2 connector. You can go for a video card that can be connected to the PCI slot.

Connect 2nd monitor to small form factor dc5800

Hello.

You have 2 options to connect an additional monitor to your desktop:

1. install a low profile video card that has multiple video outputs
2. purchase a USB to VGA/DVI device to allow a 2nd monitor to be connected.

Your model PC does not have a DisplayPort on it (newer PC's have this and this provides another monitor connection). So you will need to add hardware to the PC so you can connect the 2nd monitor.

Because you have the "Small Form Factor" model, standard height video cards will not fit in it. You would need to get the shorter model video card - typically labeled "low profile".

The other option is to purchase a USB to VGA or USB to DVI adapter that would allow you to connect the second monitor to your PC. The only thing to watch for when getting this type of adapter is to make sure your current Operating System is supported by the adapter. Many adapters that work on Windows XP will not work with Windows 7 or 8.

How do you split the screen to have google on left side and home page to right? Thanks

Maybe you're talking about the Dula Monitor. You need to buy a video card that has two video port. Either two VGA ports, DVI ports, vice versa and so on. Plug the two monitors to the two video ports. That's it.
