    Advice needed

    I was going to buy a cheap new graphics card. One which would have a dvi connection with it as my current one (old) nvidia fx 5200 doesn't have, this then would enable me to connect pc through dvi with my 24" monitor & then also enable me to connect xbox 360 through vga.


    As you will see i play my xbox360 & not games on pc just as i said looking for one with dvi connection.

    I was thinking of buying

    GEFORCE AGP FX5500 256Mb DDR, DVI, TV OUT ... £24.99.

    Can someone advise please & tell me what they think?

    yeah that would do, check out for some better prices tho. TV & Video Capture, Sound Cards, Graphics Cards, MicroDirect. is an example.

    For something like this you can probably get something dirt cheap on fleabay. £25 for a cheap crappy graphics card seems expensive. You might be able to run a cheap PCI graphics card aswell that might have DVI.
