um, if u buy a card with tv out, u aint getting ps2 on ur pc. u need a tv tuner card with TV IN.

 

[mindless_dude]

u can get a cheaper one for like 50$ (look around, u might find one cheaper) and record in decent quality.

 

[mindless_dude]

well i dont know what that comes out to in american money but im sure u can buy one with 100 canadian. just look around and try to find one with a rebate coupon or something. u will also need a s-video (or some other cable) to connect ur pc and ps2. i recomennd s-video cables by Monster Cable, thats what i use for my pc to ps2 connection and my ps2 to tv connection.

After a year all I need is a new motherboard and faster memory, but for now it does the job just fine.

i need to upgrade i invested around $700 for my system 2 years ago..1.53ghz, 128mb 8x GeForce 4 Ti 4200, 8x mobo KT400, 256mb of DDR400. i think a different video card and processor should hold me over though

 

[TakumiAE86]

U should just go and play IDarcade stage ^0^

 

[RotaryPower]

yeah, ID arcade stage is fun. go play it everyone.

shinez, just get a custom made pc... with 1300 dollars... i can probably get a 3.0 ghz comp with 1 gig of DDR ram and dvd burner and CDRW writer with dual 120gig 7200 rpm hardrives and a Geforce 4 ti4200 (pretty good for the price).. then a dark angel case, Black exterior with fire shaped see-thru glass in the middle with a red neon glow... mmmmmmmmm..... then it will leave u with enough money to buy a big mac
