    I hope to link my macbook to my television in order to use the tv as a monitor and also to hear the audio, I have read lots of forums about how to go about this and am totally confused. Here are the hardware specs, hopefully someone will have some idea of what I need. Thanks in advance.

    and this is the Macbook spec: I think I bought the macbook in2005 or 2006.

    I got one of these and one of these and it worked perfectly. The problem is that the Mini DVI does not support audio so you need the extra cable for that. It took a little fooling around with TV display properties but it looks and works great now.
