We all make mistakes from time to time. At least, that's what my dad said when I asked, "Where do babies come from?" |

--- Quote from: DeLuSioNal29 on August 31, 2009, 12:39:17 pm ---I believe the board you mentioned only works with arcade monitors: "Supported Video Modes; CGA Standard (15kHz), PAL (15kHz), Medium (24kHz), and VGA (31kHz) " A normal computer monitor runs at 60KHz. So you'd have to obtain an Arcade monitor for it to work. --- End quote --- You're mixing screen refresh with CRT horizontal draw rate. A) "kHz" is 1000 Hz B) Most PC monitors run at 60 Hz to draw one whole screen. C) VGA is 640x480 @ 60 Hz (with a horizontal draw rate of ~31 kHz*, or 31000 Hz). Practically all PC monitors can draw this. So, it will work on PC monitors with the "VGA" setting. *Math: 60 Hz * (480 lines drawn + ~32 virtual lines to cover vblank) = 60 * 512 = 30,720 Hz = ~31 Khz. (Still a simplification; can go into more depth if anyone cared.) Back to OP: Agree, better to BYO, but I might be a little bias like the rest of this board for some reason. It couldn't be that this is BYOAC forum, could it? ;) |

What OS do these All-in-1 boards run? Could I install it on generic PC hardware and avoid using Windows? |
