I think the ati brand is 128-bit, but sapphire is pretty much 256.

An LCD monitor works with digital signals, whereas a CRT (i.e., TV-like monitor with a picture tube) uses analog signals.  If you get a plain 'ol analogue video card, no matter how good a card it is, you're converting the digital signals from your computer to an analog signal in the video card, and then it's being converted back to digital inside the monitor.  The result is a loss of clarity that's not worth the savings from not having a straight digital connection between the graphics card and the monitor.

Yes it will work, but only on an alnlogue VGA connector and at a maximum resolution of 1204x768


look out for a cheap NEC 1760NX. it's a 17" TFT with DVI (digital interface) 1280x1024 resolution and a fast response time of 16ms which is perfect for gaming
