Media Center
Re: Connecting to CRT "Warning"..??

I used to use an 80cm CRT and connected it to the TV out connecter (composite !).

My old TV could display 800x600 or 1024x768 (badly!!) at 50 or 60Hz (PAL/NTSC frequencies)

Just don't expect a good XP desktop - Media Center should look okay.

As to damaging the TV - I don't think that should be very likely when using the composite connection as the video card shouldn't generate a signal that will harm the TV.
