Two questions

I am building a new PC system and am thinking of trying to link the PS2 to the new monitor

1. Has anyone tried using the VGA adaptor box to allow a monitor to be used with the PS2. Is there any improvement in graphics?

2. Is it possible to use a Sony PS2 pad with the PC by means of an adaptor. Strange request I know but I like the PS2 pad

You would probably fry your PS2, it might be fun, though.

I'm pretty sure that there's a converter that allows you to plug in your PS2 to your PC and use it as a stsndard USB pad.

Try Play.com

Hope that's of some help. As for the VGA question, I think it just makes the picture crisper as the monitor is higher resolution than your average TV.
