Will the 970 work with an Analog set (next year getting an LCD for the wall)?

Yes will work with your Analog set today and will also work with your future LCD HDTV set. Dont know when you are planning to buy the HDTV in future. If it is 1 yr from now then i would suggest you buy a very simple 40-50$ DVD player for your analog right now. The reason i suggest is that in a year's time the HD DVD player would become quite cheaper (hoping) and you will be better off to purchase a HD Player for your HDTV and not a upconverting DVD player. Hope this helps!

Yes, it will. We also have a Compool LX100 analog board system. We just had Pinch A Penny come out. You will need this version (transformers included) Their price was $600 + labor, but I plan to see if they will price match.

Has to be the same series. You could use a 7950 or something else in the 7900 group.

It will work. You may not achieve the maximum throughput, due to no PCI-E 3.0 and no SLI. If you plan on getting an additional video card, I would recommend getting a SLI compatible motherboard and a board that supports PCI-E v3.0

It depends on how large the 970's are. The board would support all of this at once, but it depends on which slots you had to put the 970's in, and whether they cover both of the pci-e slots.

Yes you definitely can. I have mine set up that way. You just need a video card that has an HDMI output.

Yes, you should be able too. It would be the same concept as hooking it between a ps3 and a tv. The monitor would just need to be hdmi copy protection compliant which I am sure it is if you can hook the gtx into it and see a picture.

Yes, as long as you know what you are doing. There are limits due to the slim design but upgrades are available as far as video cards and others. If anyone decides to upgrade just take it to someone or youtube it

Ware - thanks for instructions, the good news and the calibrate info. Very much appreciated. I have two 970s and like them but for the big LCD I want to try to get as good a picture as possible so will order a 981. At least that looks like the best bet. I hope so.Whoops! Meant "...big DLP..." if that matters.Thanks again!

Yes.. You will have to use the DVI to VGA adapter that comes with the video card that is in the package of extra parts..

It will work fine as a replacement. I am not sure how much of a performance upgrade it will be however. It supports new features like DirectX 11 and Display Port.

With the proper equipment, I don't see why not. The set has PC RGB and HDMI inputs.

Yes. Just connect it to your video card with 1 of the supplied cables. The cable with the white connector is digital and works the best.

I'm not sure as I haven't installed the samsung 830 yet. Will probably get the chance to do so in about two weeks. If you can wait till then please remind me and will respond.

Yes, it'll be a large upgrade over a 5xxx series ATI card. It can also run 2 screens just fine.

Most likely it will work fine, but it is not a very high end video card, so there are no guarantees.

I'm not 100% certain, but some cursory research suggests that that chipset is only capable of 1920x1200 over HDMI.
