BTW, if your video card doesn't have video out and you don't want to replace it you may use TView Gold ( http://www.FOCUSinfo.com/products/tview_gold/tview_gold.htm ) I use that device and it works great. It has better quality than most video cards video out and I may always choose whichever video card better suit my needs (in my case a 3DLabs Oxygen GMX2000 which is a great OpenGL accelerator but which has no video out). I hope this helps, JVc.
