The "Ultimate XP" one from SmartHome (and elsewhere cheaper) does not do 
HDTV output as far as I can tell. My TV, an older Sony XBR WEGA SDTV 
displays the component outputs very nicely, so it can't be doing 
anything other 480i I believe. There are no menu settings for the output 
resolution, and my VGA is doing 1024x768. But it does look decent, 
better than the S-Video out of the ATI 8500, and it will adapt to 
practically any VGA setting.
