I have a monitor with only VGA connection and 32inch tv screen (which has VGA and HDMI connection.)I want to connect both at the same time.
Is there some kind of connector for input vga and output vga and hdmi port? Or is it better to buy 512mb graphic card? Graphics in general i don't need to much but i just need to work and that it will work fluently without glitches.
Plus it has to be not to expensive.
My Pc specification are below: Asrock g41m-vs3 motherboard 4gb ram (2x2) and Intel Pentium processor and 450W power supply.

Your board only supports VGA out and you can't directly run VGA to HDMI, that's the biggest problem.
There are converters available, but those do get expensive ($80+).....and they normally only address VGA to HDMI, not VGA to VGA + HDMI, anything capable of that would be more expensive/

Your rig is older, so I'd normally recommend a pretty comprehensive upgrade, but if it's serving it's purpose for you at the moment, adding a cheap GPU supporting dual monitors (with VGA and HDMI output) would be the better option

And HD6450 from ASUS is $28, can support both and is low power (27W max)
