OK, this might be/is probably, a stupid :sarcastic: question but here it goes.

The GC i have 6600GT has a TV out terminal. (I have not used this terminal previously on any GC)

So question is, since i do not have a PC monitor at the moment, can i hook up my tv (analog crt tv) to this terminal on the GC and use the tv as a monitor for the time being? The tv has those three terminals red yellow and blue (i think by memory) that normaly hook up to a DVD player.

If i can, what should the refresh rate be set too for a crt analog tv set and what is the lead (connetion cable) called so that i can buy/order one.

Thanks,

You can, though the resolution sucks and more than likely will not give you a clear picture. Unless you're watching videos.

You'd need an S-Video to Composite cable or an S-video to S-Video cable if your TV has one.
