I just bought an AGP 6200 that can do the same. Not that expensive. A PCI-X 
6200 is even cheaper. A 6200 alone is cheaper than another card plus a 9A60.

It works for me.

Because getting a modeline just right for VGA to component conversion through 
a 9A60 isn't anywhere near as easy as, say, hooking up an XBox w/the HD kit 
to an HDTV. I spent a good 10 hours poring over avsforum and umpteen 
modelines before I finally found one that worked for my set. If you can get a 
6200 (I have one due here later this week) and simply plug it in and go, 
that's highly preferrable. Hopefully, it'll be easier to adjust as well...
