Does anyone have experience with any of the nVidia component-out cards they
can share? If they work, nVidia component-out cards are cheaper than the
VGA to component converters.
Thanks,
Todd

I just bought a 'VGA LEADTEK GF PX6200 TC-64-H RT - Retail
<http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814122226 >' card from
Newegg that has component video out (via a 'pigtail' adapapter). It also has
vga and dvi out... I haven't tried it yet... but my plans are to run it
through my Yamaha receiver that 'switches' component 3 video inputs to
component out, and upconverts the rest to component....

You can tap into the RGB on your vga cable to make a component video cable (or buy one premade) and it will provide a progressive scan image. I was reading about this a while back somewhere on avsforums I think.
