It's alright, Kong. I got it for free technically now, and all I said is that it would be nice to have the desktop run through my TV too. I normally use the laptop now, which is the only one with an internet connection for online emulators and whatnot. It would be nice to hook up the desktop to free up desk space and for much of the same reasons with offline emulators. Mostly, I just want to view my pc games on the big screen. We'll see how it goes.

Edit: My point is, that the laptop can handle this, and the desktop might be able to. My friend said he used a VGA to HDMi Cable for his XP desktop and it looks fine, but that's hdmi, though I doubt the desktop he has supports HD since its 8 years old like mine. I have a suspicion he used a VGA to VGA wire in reality.
