[windyridge]

i just ordered a ATI AIW 9800 Pro refurb for newegg and. i was wondering what cables/software to i need to run this best.
i'm just useing it with my monitor to play dvds, watch cable and play some games.

All you should need are the Catalyst drivers and a floppy power connector.

somewhere it said that i would need a sound connector and dvd decorder software to play dvds and watch cable is this true or is it false?

Sometimes refurb cards don't come with any of the accessories.
This is the sound cable they are referring to.

yup, that's the sound cable. and for dvd decoding software u should be able to use ati's dvd. d/l from their website. even though your card is refurbed, it will probably come with most the acessories. i've gotten two mobo's refurb from newegg, both came in the retail package with all accesories and cd's.
