I have IBM PC, Pentium III, 1 GHz, 128MB RAM.
My graphics card is integrated on the motherboard. There is no TV Out on the card.
I would like to connect my PC to TV, basically to watch video materials on big screen.
Logical way would be to buy new graphics card with TV out, but on motherboard that I have, there is no free AGP slot, just 2 PCI slots (one is occupied with internal modem). As I know, PCI cards have poor characteristics in comparison to AGP cards. The other problem is that they are very hard to find, because almost no-one is using them any more.
What should I do?
As I can see, there is two solutions:
1)Replace motherboard, and buy a new AGP Graphic card;
2)Buying Scan Converter (PC-to-TV converter), to convert VGA signal into TV-friendly one.
I would like to hear your suggestions.
Thank You.
P.S. If your are suggesting Scan Converter, please recommend model and manufacturer.
