[Shop-talk] computer (in shop) question

Other way around ... 

Your older video card probably has VGA (analog) output. Older LCD monitors accepted only VGA input; later LCDs supported both VGA and DVI input, and the the very latest usually only support DVI. 

If the connector on the cable from the LCD fits the connector on the video card it should work.

where is a good place to find out if my older computers video card will 
support LCD display replacing CRT.... it's a homebrew machine with an ABIT 
mother board and onboard NVIDEO video 

is there a forum where you can post a general question without having a 
salesman hound you to upgrade ??? 

thanks
