| Video card or VGA-to-S-video adapter needed? |
| (1/1) |
| vidmouse:
I'm in the process of upgrading my cab's PC... got some of the components (the power supply and case are on backorder but should arrive shortly). One thing I noticed was that the mobo only has PCI-E video slots, which I can't use b/c all my cards are AGP. Soo...... If I want to hook this up to my cab's tv (which only has S-video and composite inputs) I know I can spend about $40 and get a cheap PCI-E card and w/ an s-video out, or... Can I use a VGA/SVGA to S-video adapter cable for $5 to make it work? ANyone ever try one of these? The mobo I have is a MSI K9N6GM with onboard nvidia MCP61 chipset. Thanks.... |

NOTE: Your VGA card must support TV out directly through VGA port function. Please consult with your VGA card's user manual for more information. |

Yeah I read that, but the mobo manual doesn't say anything about this.... (I'm hoping to just use the onboard video) ... was hoping someone had some experience w/ this... |

Stuff it... just bought this instead: ATI radeon 9200se for about $10 shipped off ebay. Hope it doesn't have problems running nulldc.... |

Very few vga out work with that type of adapter. Your 9200 should be fine. If not, pci-e cards can be picked up pretty darn cheap nowadays. |
