I want to hook up my XBox to my pc and i was wondering what is necessary in order to do this?
I own a HIS 9800 Pro but i am willing to trade it in for a AIW 9800 if i can use that instead. I use the SVideo Cable adapter and Im not sure if the AIW has a jack for that.
I f someone could just tell me exactly what I need to get this thing up and running that would be great. :)
Thanks in advance

You can play XBox on your PC with an AIW Radeon 9800 Pro. The AIW has S-Video and composite inputs, therefore you can use either of those out puts on the XBox to input it into the computer.

you can also get an Xbox VGA adapter that will hook up your RCA cables to a dongle type thing and you can hook it up to your regular video card. They sell them pretty much anywhere they sell games. And it looks WAY better than on a TV, much cleaner, much vivid, and o so pretty

Really? I heard that those VGA adapters aren't very good when it comes to picture quality. I've always wanted to get one so I can play PS2 and GC on my LCD, but I've always heard they yield poor picture quality.
Any time you take a medium thats meant to display on a TV@640x480 and put it on a monitor its going to look like crap. Even playing the XBOX at 720p or 1080i may be disapointing depending on what your original expectations were.
I would suggest this item: http://hardware.teamxbox.com/articles/xbox/702/Review-Neoya-X2VGA-High-Definition-VGA-Pack/p1
But the AIW route is fine too. But I'm pretty sure you need to get an adapter to output at higher resolutions.
