Graphics Card upgrade
Google for "dvi graphics card"
When you upgrade the whole system, you'll probably start with a new mobo that will use PCI Express, so I wouldn't worry too much about forward upgrades using the new graphics card. Consider what you need and want, such as TV in/out capture, will it run your current monitor at the desired native resolution? -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

Graphics Card upgrade
Hello
Well pretty much www.ati.com and they make very good cards, so any ATI card will work work for you, and then if your not an ATI fan just go to nvidia both cards work great Alvin Paul L wrote: I have just upgraded to a LCD monitor with DVI input.

Graphics Card upgrade
You can get an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 at under $100 and it has DVI hookup;
Newegg.com has them, by various manuafacturers, all the same chipset basically for $56 and up.... I paid almost $90 a few months ago...eVGA or nVidia are just fine. "Alvin Brown" wrote in message ...
