I am getting a new Dell computer with a DVD Rom and I am wondering what kind of card I need to output it to my television? I imagine its some sort of card that has RCA jacks on it but are their other kinds that have SVideo or Coax?
Thanks Apexers.

You'll need either a dedicated hardware decode like a hollywood video card or you'll need a videocard with some type of output. Usually it's either S-VHS or composite.

If you can get a Radeon 64 VIVO card that will handle both 3D games and DVD decoding very well.

Not sure if Dell offers that though..

$ .02

Your best bet is the Hollywood Plus DVD decoder card, which can be found for around $45 - $50.
