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....
