Hi,
I bought a new pc system, a Levono M55e desktop and a Samsung 940BW monitor. The M55e system includes an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950.
While assembling my system, I failed to find a DVI connection on the pc. I checked Intel's site, and found that the accelerator has "Multiple display types (LVDS, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDTV, TV-out, CRT)".
Still, the M55e has not DVI inlet.
I called my lenovo agent and he told me that since the accelerator is part of the motherboard, the system has no DVI capabilities. The most it can, is to accept a DVI input, but treat it analogically as VGA.
Is this the whole story? Is it true that in spite of the accelerator's capabilities, lenovo produces a system with no dvi capabilities?
Can anything (but adding a new graphic card) add DVI capabilities to my system?

DVI connection to ThinkCenter M55e
You might wanna call your rep and ask him about the DVI ADD2 Card.
It is a PCI Express card that adds DVI capabilities to an Intel GMA 950 enabled computer. And it only costs about $30.
I'm not 100% sure it will work in an M55e (I already did it with an M55p USSF, but the "e" series sometimes tend to be less flexible), but it's worth having your rep check it.

Thanks Xavier.
Does anyone know if the DVI ADD2 Card is compatible with the M55e?
