Hi,
	I am building a ultimate game machine. I already built computer:
Pentium 100, 1G drive, 4X cd-rom, Stealth video 2MG card. I just need one
last component: a nice scan converter to put image on my 31 inch Panasonic
superflat TV. I need your help here to decide which converter to buy. I 
looked several converters in stores here in Sunnyvale. They range from
$30 to more than $300. Most of them can do 640 by 480 in 24 bit color. ($30
one only do 256 color). I don't need zoom or pan function on the converter.
(PC can do that if needed). Does any one have experience on any of them ?
Any suggestions, advices, or good bad experience is greatly appreciated.
My TV has both s-input and RCA input and claimed to be able to handle 700
lines.

	I am also interested in buying a car race game. So far I only know
Maga-Race and Indy Race. Which is better ? How do them compare with video 
race game such as ridge racer ?

	Thanks a lot in advance.

	Everett
