Did I install the Arcade VGA pci-e correctly if I hook up a standard computer...
extendedplayarcade:
Did I install the Arcade VGA pci-e correctly to my mother board and installed the drivers correctly if I connect a computer monitor to it and get an error on the screen saying that the range of 50 hz (or something like that) exceeds the monitor please change the settings of your video card.
Do I need to connect my Arcade Monitor now so I can see a video output now? That is my ultimate goal to get the computer connected to my Golded Tee so I can Golden Mame it and get all the course and a handful of games as well.
Thanks in advance

Did you connect it to the VGA port? I think I read somewhere that you have to use the DVI port, using a VGA adaptor if necessary.

It sounds like it.
I had the same deal with my PC when I had an ArcadeVGA AGP card installed. I couldn't get a display, until I tossed in a PCI video card and hooked it up to that.
It would be nice if the Arcade VGA could also work at higher frequencies for the time you're configuring everything before hooking it up to an arcade monitor, but oh well. Most motherboards these days have an onboard video card that can be used in the meantime.

I did hook up the regular monitor using the vga. So that is probably why I am getting that error.
So if I want to go to a regular computer monitor i hook the Regular Computer monitor to DVI with an adaptor for it to work.
BUT if I want to hook up the Arcade Golden Tee Monitor I use the VGA?
Thanks in advance

Cool thanks Dash. It feels good to be on the right track. I been trying so hard to keep motivate to finish my project. Now that my wife let me put the golden tee in the living room. It will get a whole lot more play
