What do you expect him to play, Crysis? Win7 would be fine although WinXP is slightly more memory efficient but lacks many functions not available in Win7. Why don't you try Win7 yourself?

Hello guys...
I got a very noob question for noobs like me lolx...

1. DVI socket and VGA socket is different?

2. The thing from graphic card to monitor, it is both VGA-VGA right?

3. What if monitor only got HDMI, how to connect graphic card VGA to monitor HDMI? Does this one-time cable available?

Thanks in advance !

1) DVI = digital signal, VGA = analog signal

2) Depends on the available input(s).

3) Possible with a VGA-HDMI converter, but could be pricey.

What he said. Nowadays most comp screens usually come with HDMI though, and quite a few still support VGA. Check for the connector type. Sure no VGA hiding around? Also, using desktop or laptop (just curious, as my laptop got no HDMI, only VGA)?

1) Yes socket is difference. DVI is white. VGA is blue. Their pin also difference.
2) I believe start from 3 years old graphic card will pair 1 VGA and 1 DVI together. Latest graphic card most only came with DVI, few have HDMI or display port. But they will provide DVI to VGA converter.
3) PC LCD monitor or LCD TV ?

Suppose almost all lcd monitor have VGA port. Most with DVI, quite a few with HDMI.
Laptop no idea.

Oh i will try if u willing to sponser me~haha



because my labtop is using XP...and when im playing warcraft,open itune,msn...i facing lag ad...

there are various adapters available, usually come with ur graphic card. if not, u can try to buy in garage sales... however, the common adapters i've seen so far is dvi-to-vga, and hdmi-to-dvi. never seen hdmi-to-vga adapter... but most graphic cards today have dvi or hdmi output, so u dont have to worry too much... what is ur graphic card anyway?

Thanks a lot GeneralX

Hmmm you understands me...
Aiming for Angelo from AOC..
AOC 2434PW only got Analog RGB and HDMI...So i have to find a VGA - HDMI cable right?...

Erm, PC LCD monitor, to be precise, its ACO 2434PW which only got Analog RGB and HDMI....

Erm, Palit GTX275

ohh.. palit gtx275's output is like this is it?

unless it's the new version with hdmi, vga, and dvi output, which means u wont have any problem in the first place

and ur AOC 2434PW input is like this right?


so u'll need a dvi-to-vga adapter (if u only have vga cable) or a dvi-to-hdmi adapter (if u have hdmi cable).
people are selling the adapters in garage sales from as low as rm5 to the high quality ones around rm30-40... or u can buy a HDMI-DVI cable, but pretty expensive la... about rm100+...

hmm, to solve the problem, you need a DVI to HDMI converter(some GC do provide the converter), then use HDMI cable to monitor..

Please try to avoid cap ayam PSU....

cant, new HDD you must format and install Fresh Windows, after that then you format your old one as secondary HDD

unless you want to use your new HDD as secondary..
