Wifey bought the kids a new 32" 720p LCD TV for the kitchen. I want to hook up the kitchen PC to this new TV (primarily for Netflix), but my connections aren't compatible: the TV has a 9-pin RGB slot and a pair of HDMIs, but the video card only has two DVIs and an S-video output. I have a DVI-to-RGB converter here at the office and I'm gonna try that later. But when I used this converter at the office, I wasn't happy with the results, so I'm skeptical that will work out well.
I may need to upgrade the GeForce 8800GT in this rig to a newer card with HDMI out, so I'm looking for advice in that regard. Since this is my old gaming rig, which I plan to replace in a year or so, I don't want to spend a lot of money. My budget is probably a hundred bucks or so.
I've been looking at the GeForce GTS 450, which bounces around the hundred dollar mark. In terms of performance, it should be about the same as my 8800GT, or at least that's what I read. I'd like to have a GTX 460, but they run $160+.
Don't know much about AMD's current offerings, but am more than willing to learn.
Advice? Thanks in advance.
