You decide ! Buy a 25" TV or find a computer with AGP slot for arcade monitor?
« on: September 30, 2006, 12:41:54 pm »
I am frustrated......

I bought an old Mortal Kombat machine with a 25 inch monitor in it. I purchased a Radeon 8500LE Card to go in my computer for said monitor. I now discover that my computer does not have an AGP slot. Crap. So I go and find 3 other computers I have access to and none of them have AGP slots either. WTF!

At this point I am thinking just tear the monitor out and put a tv in there and I will just do it that way. I do have an s-video output on my laptop. It is an ATI Radeom Mobile 320p or something. Either way I have had it display MAME on my TV before.

I know I should prefer the working monitor but I am pulling my hair out.... What should I do everyone?

A) Get a PCI video card for $40
B) Get a motherboard with an AGP slot for $40

Either solution should work just fine.
