Switching from analogue to digital is simply a matter of switching cables at the back of your machine - I think you need an LCD monitor and it should come with a seperate cable for this purpose.

Seen this post earlier today here. It is the #7 post that explains the install.

no link in ur post Brian1... Sham... whats the point of switching it then... if its hooked up, its hooked up isnt it?

Well, digital has many advantages - a sharper image, full use of a low response time for games and an image that fits exactly in the screen all of the time.

If you have the cable (it's more rectangular than the usual analogue one) then I can't think of a single reason to not switch.

im not sure that my graphics card suports it though... when i get my geforce ones it will (SLI) but that will be awhile...
