 	Just about any NVIDIA card back to at least a TNT will do Xv with 
the binary drivers.  The SVID output should just work (with the 
appropriate binary driver and xorg.conf settings).  You'll need to check 
that card, though.  The tvout on a lot of vid cards sucks big time.  Can't 
say for sure on that specific card because a number of different tvout 
chips were used.  Some sucked less than others.

Short answer is that it'll work.
Longer answer is that it very likely will have ass picture quality.
