I was trying to figure out how I can get video from my DP 800 G4 with GeForce 3 card out to a TV monitor. I would love to able to have itunes on my TV while the audio is coming through my stereo. This is easy with a powerbook or ibook, but how do i do it with my DP 800?

You need a VGA Scan Converter, or a second video card with sVideo or composite video out.

Try a search at the Mac Product Guide for 'Scan Converter'
I'm cookoo for Cocoa Apps!

I use a TV View VGA (Focus is th Mfg.) adapter for my Dual 800 to a TV to watch DVD's and the picture is actually better than many DVD players. If you have the twinview Nvidia card you're all set to have a dual monitor set-up with a TV as your second monitor. My only gripe is that like you I have a GeForce3 (great for games) and I have to unplug my 17 inch ADC LCD before plugging in the adapter into the VGA port.
