NVidia makes several cards that have component output on them.  I do
most of my shopping through www.newegg.com and they refer to it as
HDTV out.  I just posted a question yesterday regarding this card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814127174

It has the component outs on it.  I figure I will probably have to run
Powerstrip in Windows to get a good ModeLine for this card and my
analog Sony Wega with component inputs.  This card is capable of
outputting 480i (Analog), 480p(DVD HighDef), 720p(HD), 1080i(HD).  I
plan on just using the 480i for now, but if I get an HD TV, there ya
go!
