What further suggestions do you need? You pretty much spelled things out. To connect your Mac pro to you HDTV you need:

- a dvi to vga cable
- an audio cable

...that's pretty much it.

p.s. I will mention this. If you're connecting your Mac Pro to your HDTV...and a "vga" port is involved...more than likely you're NOT going to get the resolutions you desire...and you're almost definitely NOT going to get any "widescreen" resolutions. The VGA port is just not designed that way.

Don't get a BIG head. You already knew all the answers...so your post probably was unnecessary!

Connecting via VGA is not the best way...but it will get the job done.

Good luck,
