Playing old consoles on an LCD.

As some of you may know, I am looking to catch up with some titles on previous generations of consoles and it would be convenient to setup shop here at my PC, and I was wondering about methods to do it. 

I am not sure how much processing power I need for a TV card etc, and my monitor is only a VGA LCD, but I would be interested to hear suggestions or you current setups.

Cheers in advance for any responses.

your basic games are going to work and look fine.

Any thing that uses any light detection or special stuff is pretty much screwed.

I use my HDTV as both a monitor and a TV as it has inputs for VGA, Component, Composit, S-Video and RFU.

Yeah I think most games will look good on the monitor of the last generation.
