Or alternately, you could buy a fixed frequency video card for you PC.
Last one I saw had 4MB of video ram and was a S3 Virge GX or something
respectable. IIRC, the price was $90. Don't quote me on that though
but I'd be warey if they charged more than $140 tops.

But at least _everything_ you display to it will come out on the monitor.
