Default Video Cards

What kind of video cards are you all using with TB.
I have an ATI Radeon 9550. How can I hook up a touch screen when I have only one VGA adapter. The card has 1 VGA, 1 DVI and 1 S-Video output. Do I need to get a new video card to make this work?

Hi, Wraith. It depends on your current monitor. If you have one with a DVI input, use that output from the card to drive your monitor and the VGA output to drive the touch screen. Otherwise, you can get a DVI to VGA adapter to use your DVI output to drive a VGA touch screen.

Hope that helps...

Yep, what blaster said...

I might add, I'm running a 9700 (P4 2.4 Ghz) with no problems and I think the 9000 series all have similar connections.

I'll probably end up sourcing out a dvi to vga adapter.
Thanks for the help.

Anyone experience any drop in frame rates doing it this way?

you normally get a dvi-vga adapter with cards that have dvi port, have a check you might have one already, there cheap anyway if not
