[QUOTE="Kilim, post: 56080, member: 20822"] Thanks for the info :D [b] - which country do you live? (connections and tv systems differ throughout the world) [/b] I live in NY, USA [b]- which connections do you have on your Tv?[/b] As for my TV. Hmmm I really should look back there. I know it at least have a regular Cable TV plug, isn't that an RCA Jack? I think it also has at least the 3 plugs A/V inputs (yellow, red and white colors) Not sure if it has S-video, will double check once I get home from work tonite. [b]- which connections does your videocard have?[/b] I have an ATI X850XT 256mb AGP Card. It looks like it has a regular VGA output, a DVI Output and a S-video output. I just ordered a a nice bundle from SnapStream.
