graphics card hardware question
I am using a Gigabyte Radeon 9200SE AGP which has a VGA out and a Svideo out.
Th VGA out is being used and the S video is empty. I have a spare monitor which I want to connect to the S video but I do not want to use a TV (crap for viewing text). I will be using the twinview function hence the 2 monitors. Are there any connectors/converters to plug into the S video out but view on a monitor ? I can find heaps of VGA to S video converters but I need it the other way round.

S-video signal is pretty poor. Even if you could get it to run on a PC monitor the text would be barely readable.
AGP cards are getting hard to come by. So your best bet is to go through ebay and get a cheap twin VGA/DVI graphics card. You could probably pull it off for under $50.

Mate few things
is the security cam running through the pc ? if yes then just ned a second monitor and have a dual graphic card you can get a 512mb pci-e card for as little as $150 now days or even under $100 for 256mb dual out puts, Do you know what graphic slot you have Pci-e pci or Agp,? if camera is not running through computer then go a different path. |

thanks MR2
I'll get an AGP card with DVI and VGA out. Use an DVI to VGA adapter plug to run my old skool CRT monitor for the office , and the other VGA out to view the security cam that sound ok?
