The only people it would apparantly benefit is someone with a monitor that supports HDCP but with an awesome computer they want to add HDCP support to.

If your video card is that old, it seems likely that a new HDCP-compliant GPU would be on your shopping list.

This product is basically useless for anybody.]]>Mar 23rd 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/Mar 23rd 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/And if the issue is that you have a DVI-connector-only card you can buy converter cables to go HDMI.
To sell this it would have to be $25 max.

You are correct that any video compatible with DVI can also be transported on HDMI; however the reverse is not necessarily true anymore. Although they are still technically electrically compatible, HDMI 1.3 specifies a higher maximum data rate than dual link DVI allows in order to support a greater color depth, greater refresh rates, higher resolution displays, or some combination of these things. The 30" monitors out now are at the very edge of dual link DVI, but have some wiggle room on HDMI and DisplayPort.

DVI actually does not limit themselves at dual link and actually has specs for a quad-link connector (it is available on some Quadro cards and high-DIP displays, for instance). But it is a far more cumbersome and expensive connector -- so bumping the bandwidth on the existing connectors really is a better idea for the consumer market, particularly since cable quality is generally good enough to deal with the increased bandwidth anyway.]]>Mar 24th 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/Mar 24th 2008 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/Mar 23rd 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/]]>Mar 23rd 2008 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/
p.s. @ Michael, you can't add HDCP mid stream, it has to be there all the way through, i.e. you need an HDCP video card weather you have this thing in or not]]>Mar 23rd 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/23/asus-releases-splendid-hd1-video-card-sure-does-have-a-way-with/

That is a really funny easter pic I took two years ago (sadly two years before I had a decent camera- now it's digital rebel ftw!). What are you guys up to today? I am going to the relatives for a party and teaching my 9 year old cousin how to play the guitar.

Hope the picture brightens up your day!
