    Hey guys! this is my first post so bear with any mistakes I make.
    I was looking forward to hook my x360 to both my CRT tv and my hp lcd monitor, but not play on both(obviously), at the same time. My tv has av input(red,whit,yello) so i can connect my x360 to it using the component cable but the real matter here is how to connect x360 to my hp lcd monitor which only has a vga input. Should i use a tv tuner card but then i can only connect x360 to lcd and not to tv. Please help me here 'cause I have done all the research and cant find a possible solution.

    No, like I stated before, the memory limitations alone on consoles can't hold enough textures to be able to replicate Crysis 1.
    thats why they dont need the memory PS3 has a little something something called Blu-Ray. and its 25 times the size of a petty 2gb SD RAM

    As far as I know, you can only output video from the Xbox 360 through 1 connection at a time.

    Most 360 systems have HDMI and the 'general' A/V port. HDMI would be the most ideal, but since you're limited you have to switch between the Composite/S-video/Component cable for your TV and a VGA cable for your monitor.

    Edit: The VGA cable looks something like this:
