Many of the cards that output S-video also stick composite in there and
include a small adapter, that can probably drive your TV.
Most cards with DVI output do DVI-I which includes DVI-Analog and DVI-Digital
in the same plug. DVI-Analog can be converted trivially to VGA, and you
can get adapters for under $10 if they didn't pack one with the card.
So get DVI-I, and you will be able to do your VGA, or your LCD panel, or
your HDTV (maybe)
