that requires a little more work as normal VGA is 5 seperate signals, but it is possible, as its what the VGA->HDTV converters basically do. I too am interested in knowing if anyone has had luck with the HDTV output capable cards and how the work? Its looking like my TV doesn't like 1080i from a regular DVI output on video cards and using a HDTV chip with 1080i via component cables may be the way I need to go.
