Can anyone recommend a video card

[absolute 0]

Hi there,
I would like to be able to watch iplayer etc on my tv as well as my monitor.
Currently my monitor is connected with VGA connector, graphics card also has a DVI output, however DVI doesn't support audio.

So I think I need a new graphics card with VGA and HDMI? Don't use PC for games.

My system -
Motherboard - MSI MS7173 RC410
Power Supply - 300w
Windows XP sp3
Pentium 4 3.06Ghz
1Gb memory

Found this one on dabs.com, is it any good?
Best Value ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro 256MB PCI-Express DVI

PS my tv is around 6m from PC

Cheers,
Pete

That card will run fine for what you are trying to do.

Although if you are running the sound through the HDMI cable, you wont be able to just plug your monitor back in and sound run through computer speakers (unless your monitor has built in speakers that run through HDMI). AFAIK you would have to open up your case and remove the SPDIF cable.

What i would like to do is -
run a hdmi cable to tv and a vga cable to monitor, so i can avoid swapping cables in and out.

is it possible to play iplayer on tv using this setup and suggested card?
