    I have an NV17 graphics card. I need a new monitor. Will a flat screen monitor work with this card? If not, what kind of card do I need?

    it doesnt matter what kind of monitor u use as long as you can connect it. most monitors will plug right up to old cards since they are VGA while new cards are DVI output

    A lot of LCD monitors will have DVI and VGA connectors
    but even if your new monitor only has a DVI input you can get DVI to VGA adapters (just check to make sure they run both ways first)

    this one came with my graphics card
    DVI to D-sub Adapter
    S/N:12CT2-1DVI01-12
    Trans. Adapter DVI to D-sub 15
