No... a 27" TV with S-VIDEO, component video, and RCA inputs.

I have two monitors, a 3-year old flat panel and an old, fading 17"
CRT, hooked up to the motherboard.

I have a small old TV hooked up to cable, on a shelf above the PC.

But I also want to hook up my TV (across the room)* to the PC to watch
online video such as on http://www.usanetwork.com/fullepisodes/
(because I only have basic cable). That way I can use both monitors
for work. (I love it! I usually have my text editor or E-mail client
on one monitor and browser on the other!)

* Which reminds me. Can I run coax across the floor under one of those
office cord protectors strips? Or are they just for extension cords?

No, I don't do games, except the occasional space invaders or pinball.
I'm so twentieth century! ;-)

This is great. Thanks for taking the time to write all that, Jim.

I'll have to look under the hood to see whether it's PCI or PCI-E. Had
to have my motherboard replaced last winter.

I just looked at the box it came in and it doesn't specify the slots.

But it says "Vista Ready" and that it supports AMD 64 Athlon. Doesn't
that suggest that it's PCI-E?
