Hey guys first of all i joined today but i know this forums since long time because of all the helpful stuff . And i am sorry if i posted in wrong section.

So here is my question

what i have is a 42" flat screen tv from Philips

I have a pc from Gateway , gateway GT5220

Ok what i want to do is connect my pc to the tv , because i dont want burn dvd's or dvd rw's , its one time use and i usually scratch dvds

This was my plan at first, i wanted to use Dvi to HDMI cable and connect my pc to tv and use a Y sound cable to bring sound to tv then i discovered that my pc doesnt have a DVI port , so this is what i decided to do

Get a VGA to DVI adapter , then i use the DVI to HDMI to connect to the tv , would that work ?

Thanks

No. You'll need something like this.

You best bet would be a HD series type video card.

ATI has several inexpensive ones. This one may do the trick.

Should do it. I've got an on board ATI HD3200, also handles all those HD MKV's with ease.
