I applaud your attempt to make a joke of the "PC is cheaper than console" argument, unfortunately you fail miserably. Keep trying, though, it's funny listening to you ask inane questions a 9 year old could answer!

actually if I do ever need to play in another room I have another 360, got one as a gift so my solution would be to have 2 systems, or I just do not play. And actually these are not really joke questions. Just some basic simple things that I think are important to think about. It is very rare that the TV is being used while video games are wanting to by played as well, but it is very common to want to jump online and check things while the TV is being used.

Doing email checks for work on and off through out the night or weekend at times is a lot more common thing for me to do then wanting to play a game for 5 minuets.

What I find funny is how some of you PC guys are getting upset that I am trying to figure out how to make my PC as good if not better then my console with both graphics and convience. Just because many of you are fine playing a game by yourself and sitting in your PC room or for what ever reason have all your stuff in the same room does not mean that many or most of us do.

I have 3 bedrooms, kitchen and living room. I have 1 room for the PC room, and the other 2 are bedrooms. The living room is where I have my TV and video game set up.

I have seen some of you have TV and PC in the same place that is fine for you but for me it just does not work out.

Also if it is so easy to figure out a solution to my problem then by all means just tell me what it is so I can stop asking questions. Also I checked out a friend of mines PC and I think he would need to upgrade his RAM as well as video card and might even need a CPU upgrade.

And to recap and make it easier so you can have a 9 year old figure this out for me, I need a video card that will output to my TV so I have the HD use of it and then be able to leave the PC in the living room while I am able to surf the web in the PC room without having to up and move the PC and be able to do all of this for a relatively inexpensive amount of money.

There you go give me the solution and I will give it a shot. Unlike other threads and people on here I will actually try and give the results of this test

Because I'm feeling generous, I'll give you a link so you can do some research yourself.

LOL smart butt you know what I mean, I enjoy co-op and split screen games as well. While there are not a ton of them they are not to have as an option.

well if a 9 year old could answer my question and you had to give a link and not just give the simple answer does that mean your dumber then a 9 yo as well

look you and others know PC stuff just give me the simple easy answers no point in me trying to learn a lot about PC stuff when you can just give the answers.

Yeah I kind of lazy and really that one reason many of us like consoles we dont have to research we go and buy it and we are done. Now again if they answer is so easy that a 9yo could give it just give up the info.

I'm pretty sure he ment playing with other people "in the same room, on the same unit" not other people "online". Kinda like haveing 3 friends over to play rock band. Speaking of which, how does rock band run on the pc? I'd assume you need a pretty good size monitor for all 4 people to be able to see well.

You can play war craft split screen? That's bad ass. If my pc wasn't completly worthless for anything other than email, and posting on forums I might go buy it.

I did not know that either. Although I thought with wow everyone had to have there own account and...........wait I think he was being a smart ass maybe rock band is not on the PC and instead of being mature and just admiting that the PC and the console each have their own perks he is just going to be a smart ass about it.

It is a shame that many of the people speaking up for the PC can not be mature enough to just answer our questions so we can actually learn something and try to see see if PC gaming has a place in our fun as well.

I really wasn't sure if rock band was on the pc or not. I know GH3 is, because I have a copy of it. I'm thinking about seeing if they'll let me play it at work. lol Although it says it wants a dual core processor which I don't have.
