I have not ever muck around with S_video, but, it's just another well define interface (port), I would think. > Anyway, in the $40 Ohhhh Nooooo! Stop the buss! If you are spending new dollars, I'd highly recommend this ATI card, The 4350! ASUS EAH4350 SILENT, no fan just passively cooled. It uses the latest (smallest transistor) technology to build a very reasonable performing graphics card with little heat and no noise. A Silent video card has to be attractive for any audiophile? It even comes with an HDMI output. I have not gotten into the interfaces (splitting) the video and audio feeds, yet, but it looks encouraging. It was $29 dollars, but, make sure it's fits into your video slot on your mobo. What I guess I'm really trying to say is, if you are spending new money, get a video card that uses the latest GPS technologies and has the outputs you want. Do try to avoid video cards with HDCP built in... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection Although it's only a matter of time before HDCP is reverse engineered and work_arounds developed, methinks... hth, James
