BMD Decklink can provide monitoring via SDI. Looks VERY nice but a monitor with SDI input is very expensive.
OHCI = firewire. Then you need some form of digital to analogue converter to feed S-Video or composite video to either a monitor or TVs A/V inputs.
Certainly some form of external monitor is very desirable however it will not solve the issue you are seeing.
First drop the preview quality to Preview Auto will help, or you can try RAM preview or else render part or all of the project to a new track. Also if you highlight part of the timeline and set Loop on Vegas will buld the looped region in RAM, so you'll see the frame rate increase gradually until you get full motion preview, assuming the looped region will fit in RAM.
