ATI Dongle question
« on: September 02, 2004, 05:15:34 pm »
Hello, I read the entire thread about using the ATI dongle with a component TV.  One question that I could not find an answer to, which dongle do you use with a NON-HDTV component connection?  VGA or DVI to component?

Thanks,
Southpaw

I think it depends on which model ATI card you're using.  And that model is...?

Not purchased yet!  I was thinking of getting the DVI one because I could then run two monitors if needed (assuming the card I buy has support for two monitors).

The specs on both dongles look identical so I am going to assume that it really doesn't matter which one I get.

I don't think so.  This site has all the info you need.

Hmmm...  I don't think I really answered your question.  ;)

You *can* use the HDTV adapter with a regular TV that has component in (and a compatible ATI video card), but don't plan on running the resolution over 640 x 480.  Actually, more like 640 x 432 if you're counting pixels.

Thanks, I got all that stuff from the last thread.  I was just interested in the adapter.  However, the FAQ tells you which dongle to buy...

Thanks,
