I'm getting an xbox 360 soon and it performs better on my monitor than my tv, but I only have the one monitor. If I get a dual VGA cable, and connect my PC and xbox to the same monitor, will that work?

What happens if both things are turned on?!

Thanks in advance ]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:57:04 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847776 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847760
I don't Know what to do, there is a recall for when this happens, but HP told me it's to late for a free repair on my laptop,

Has anyone had a problem like this and/or know a way to fix?

I need one more drive that I pretty much just use to download stuff too and then extract the files and either burn the files or just move them to storage. We are talking about 5-15 gigs a day of downloading and extracting.

The drive would need to be between 200-300 gigs. I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to get another ssd for this like the ocz 256gb? Or saving money and going with a 300gb velociraptor? or even saving more money and going with another caviar black?

Is the ssd going to make much of a difference since the drive is mostly going to be used to write to?]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:52:06 -0500 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847700 http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=847686
I'm trying to hook up my desktop pc to my 32'' samsung hdtv.
My tv has a hdmi connector socket which is currently hooked up to my xbox via a hdmi cable.

What I want to do is hook both my pc and xbox up to the tv via the single hdmi socket.

So a couple of questions:

1) What is a good, cheap graphics card with an hd-out which I can plant in my desktop pc and connect to the tv to enjoy sweet sweet hd quality?

2) If I connect both xbox and pc to my tv via an hdmi splitter will this affect the quality (both will not be on at the same time obviously!)

I should point out i dont intend on playing many games on the tv from my pc (like, say MW2...)

All of this in the uk...cheers!

Calum.
