    [HELP]Connecting PS2 to PC

    Goal: Play ps2 on my lcd monitor.
    What I have is an ATI X700, there is an S-Video plug, VGA, and DVI (I believe thats what its called).
    My Current LCD monitor has only 1 adapter for DVI.
    That leaves me S-Video and VGA.

    How Can I connect my ps2 to my graphic card so I can use my LCD monitor to play?
    If there is a possible way, is there a "box" of some sort I can use to press button to switch between the ps2 and my pc?
    Im looking for the most lagless solution when it comes to playing with my ps2 on my lcd, i know s-video seems to be the key, but is there an S-video "Box" thing that can alternate between ps2 and pc?

    Cant you just connect your PS2 straight to the Monitor?
    Monitors that have 2 Inputs say 2 VGA connectors can switch between 2 appliances in you case a PC and a PS2.

    the s-video on the graphics card is an output one, rather than an input one. so no, you cant use the s-video.
