You may want to look into this cable > Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable Review (Xbox 360) < plus I am aware the resolutions are shown on this website, there has been an update to allow all standard pc resolutions including 1080p

Sorry, some stuff has been happening, ended up losing track of this post until I found it in my bookmarks :/

yea, I will have to look into that - is there no way to make it work? I really don't have any spare money to put into more hardware/cables/etc right now :/

Thanks for the info, though, I will look into one once I can afford to get it. I might just go dual-boot windows 7 though, it's in RC1 for quite a while from what I understand. Only reason I don't is due to active web design projects (I hate having to setup all my crap again, it's not hard, just gets tedious).

Anyway, thanks again. And sorry for losing track of the post, I will remember it this time

ok, keep the existing setup, but open up the sound settings and right click on the recording devices , show disabled devices and enable the stereo mix.
