Questions on using an old laptop with a new Acer 23" x233h? I use this laptop for surfing the net, watching YouTube and downloaded movie files
The laptop is a OLD Toshiba Satelite Mobil Intel Celeron 1.5 GHz with 512 RAM XP Home service pack 3
Toshiba is a s1115-s103
From a amazon site, some specs

n ATI M6C graphics controller and 16 MB of external DDR video memory offer 1,024 x 768 resolution on the 1115-S103’s 14.1-inch TFT active-matrix display. The notebook’s 256 MB of memory--expandable to 512 MB--and its 256 KB of L2 cache

What will happen if I connect this monitor with such an OLD laptop?
Will it work
Fill the screen?
CPU to slow?
Jerky playback?

Thanks, its connected to a 17 CRT monitor now

Looks like you already got your answer over at Slickdeals forums. As stated there, it will work, but you won't get the best quality picture using the VGA connecter. I haven't looked at the specs for the Acer monitor, but if it doesn't have a VGA input, you would need some type of adapter to connect it.
