Samsung 2233 SW Problem (not with the monitor)

I introduced my newly bought monitor to my buddy, (P4, 3 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 128 MB ATI Raedon X300) but he didn't seem to even remotely take any interest, let alone impressing her. Ya, I know my graphics card's supposed to be put up in some museum, but can't he atleast show up his boot menu to her?

I connected the monitor to my lappy, and the monitor's just working fabulously great. Seems quite obvious, but please lemme know if a better graphics card is direly needed or not.

im having p4 2.4 with 96 mb onboard with no gfx card, i get full HD resolution (not movies or games) without any probs.

U should get a 9600 gt card.,,and a dvi cable to connect it with ur moniter...'

Then u can feel it dude...'

Is this a new PC? :shock:

Is your buddy a he or a she? :razz:

Not at all a new PC. I said the monitor is new...

and...the PC is a 'he'.

Now, correct me if i am wrong. My card has a VGA slot. Now the monitor has a VGA slot and a DVI D slot.

So, if I use the VGA cable provided to connect the card's VGA slot with the monitor's VGA slot.. it should work, right?

Or, is there a thing which has DVI-D plug at one end and a VGA plug at the other which I am supposed to be using?
