Will VIVO be neccessary, or only output?

If the latter, nearly any sub $100 AGP 4x/8x card with the appropriate output types should be fine.

Start here, and obviously keep an eye out in the Hot Deals forum for a card with similar specifications with better AR prices.

Output exclusively is fine.
Thanks for the info, will this allow for the different resolutions while outputting?
Currently i have to switch my monitor to the LCD TV res to see it properly.

Something that old will the bios detect a 300 gig hdd?

I would say it is time to move up and upgrade to a PCI-e board so your LCD HD tv can take advantage of the HD decoding the newer cards like the x1800xt does. It will make the picture on your tv like the differance between night and day. Granted you wont game but it can be had for $250 and it will last you alot longer then any onther card you choose and the better cpu will let you crunch your work faster.

What work am I crunching?

I web browse, msn, watch tv, dvd, listen to music, download a ton of stuff (media), sometimes online poker, not even office...

Ok dick. Go put this into the fourm your supposed to and get no responses. You said in the OP that you do windows based stuff. It could be ANYTHING. I assumed not many people have a computer just for surfing and if they did there is NO POINT IN UPGRADING YOUR CURRENT SYSTEM! Buy the same sh!t you got now failing on you and stfu.

:roll:
Talk about unwarranted hostility.

We must understand that he is under a lot of pressure right now.

Afterall, his house is infested with brown recluse spiders. I would be angry too. 😀

Most updated driver control panels allow for such.

I guess my vivo is just too old for this option?
