No VGA output, or not enough video horsepower?

Our sole TV has always doubled as a PC monitor, though the old-ish projection unit didn't like it very much as I had to use S-Video (the DVI port was meant strictly for HD and I couldn't correct for overscan) and that limited things to 1024x768 and blurry outside of a very narrow viewing distance. We've since settled on a 40" LCD that works great, got it on the cheap at Wally-World and it does both HDMI and VGA. Currently I'm running my music-recording box on it (Win7/Mac dual-boot) in lieu of an AM2+ motherboard for the previous machine. Networked to my RAID array, Gigabit-style. There will likely be a Hulu Plus scrip in our future, in addition to whatever Google TV finally comes up with since by then we'll both be toting Android devices
