I currently have my Myth box hooked up to my TV using a VGA cable... the TV
also has an audio in jack associated with it so I have that as the input
from my sound card. My video card (nVidia GeForce 6800 GS) also has a DVI
output. Would I see any significant difference getting a cable like this for
my connection over my current VGA setup. My TV is only a 32" LCD and only
capable of 720p, not 1080.
