Howdy: My daughter has a 47" Phillips LCD TV and wants to use her HP
Pavilion 513c with it. This TV only has HDMI jacks (and PBY jacks?) so
instead of hooking up two to four adapters to get from a D-Sub
connector to the HDMI, I was thinking of getting this video card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161010
and install it into one of the PCI slots and then hook it up to the
TV. Will this work? Will this computer have enough juice to power and
use this TV as a monitor? It's running Windows XP Home SP3 with 256GB
of RAM and a 1.8GHz chip. Don't know the wattage of the PSU. Any
suggestions? She will mainly be using email, light web surfing (eBay)
and storing photos. Maybe watching the occasional avi video. What's
the consensus on this idea? Thanks.
