Every card you buy today will smoke a TNT2, so if your happy with the performance of that (if you dont play games tec), just buy any card with dvi. I might even suggest a 6200TC , they are much slower than a regular 6200 -which is probably 30 times faster (3D) than your current card, so i think that will do the trick, and they are fairly cheap (approx $50). A FX5200 would do the job aswell, bought one second hand for $30. Check your motherboard first, when purchasing a new gfxcard for an old pc, you can encounter some incombatibility with agp voltage. There are some VGA-DVI adapters available, but they cost more than a budget card. If your going the other way around, they cost $5..which isnt any use for you -- This episode is called: "an elephant ****s a pig". But the networks had it changed to "an elephant makes love to a pig". Which is kind of silly, because if an elephant was on top of the pig, it wouldnt be making love to it, it would be ****ing it !

Sune,
Thanks for your good advice. Today, I bought a FX5500 AGP 4-8X card. It works correctly but I could not find some settings to fit my LCDTV/monitor. Firstly, the native resolution of my LCD TV/monitor is 1280 x 768 75 Hz but the card has 1280 x 768 60 Hz only and thus has sync issue. I have to set the card to 1024 x 768 60 Hz. Is there any way to improve it? The standard plug and play monitor driver is automatically selected for my LCD TV/monitor. In addition, my new card is AGP 8x and now is set to 4X. Does the system board control without any change? Thanks, Ray "Sune Storgaard" wrote in message ... Ray wrote: My Sony pc has a video adapter, AGP NVIDIA RIVA TNT 2 Model 64 installed.
