Okay so I never jumped into the HD stuff. I have been very content with my older AGP 7800GS running my 17" 1280 x 1024 LCD and decided that it is time to upgrade my aged P4 system that has seen its share of crunching, gaming, extreme overclocks during the winter and still going strong. But I decided I need to upgrade for sanity reasons. It will not run my software the greatest even though the CPU is OC'ed to a reasonable 3.8GHz from it's stock 2.4GHz (prime stable for years now) during winter to 3.6GHz in summer.
Not being in the hardware department for a couple years other than minor upgrades for myself or others. I decide to jump the gun. Only I did it w/o really putting on the thinking cap. The first big no-no I did was I bought a motherboard from one company and a video card from another. I am certain they are both fine as they are still brand new in the box. But one is a X48 crossfire chipset motherboard and a 9600GT video card. So as of right now if I want to go dual cards, I have to either sell the video card or the motherboard. Something I am not so keen on doing.
Now the video card is HDCP complaint as is my 24" monitor I bought. Right now I have it plugged into my older system and all I can say is WOW! I had no clue what I was missing by not going high resolution ages ago. My flight simulator game is simply amazing. I so can not wait for my Blu-Ray drive to arrive so I can build my new computer and be on HD.
Then I seen a post on the internet. Forgot where I seen it as I was randomly clicking links when a power outage occurred. Anyways in wherever that link was, I read that D-Sub is not compatible with Blu-Ray. Is this true?
Otherwise I have to buy a new video card as it does not have HDMI out and my monitor does not have DVI input.
What I do have laying around, though I am not certain if it will work is a DVI to D-Sub converter. Or will the D-Sub input on the monitor tell the Blu-Ray programing that your getting input from D-Sub?
