I don't see a VGA port. This card is for use with HD televisions and standard sets.

lol you don't know what you're talking about.
The 2600 Pro is in the new iMacs. It's a good card, you'll get what you expect for $99. On the iMac, it runs Bioshock and Orange Box great at 30+ FPS at high settings. You'll need to downgrade expectations for the rest of your computer's specs.

I'm just going by what the specs say.
Unless the card comes with a conversion cable, I'm not seeing the VGA capabilities.

Look at the specs for this GeForce 8800GT. The outputs for this card do not include a VGA port, but does include a DVI to VGA adapter.

This should be taken into consideration, if ChaoofNee might have to pay for an adapter cable that isn't included with that card.

You can use two big, ugly adapters to get HDMI->DVI->VGA. It's possible. They're $4 apiece.
Plus, that thing is PCI-e. I don't have that.
Still, I think I've decided on a Sapphire X1650 due to price, but also to grab another gig of RAM. Thing is, I'm actually going to have to up my power supply in order to handle this all, so I can't go batshit. I'll take being able to play recent computer games at 30 FPS with some detail turned down instead of not being able to play them at all.
I mean, that's seriously a first around here. I've NEVER been able to play anything but DOS games due to the specs of the family computer. Now, though, I'm content with "a little behind, but not two OS versions back."
EDIT: Perfect.
