I dunno; maybe it's not the chip itself; maybe it's the vendor
implementation. Mine (NV18) is on-board with shared video memory and
S-Video out; my old card (NV17) was an AGP card with its own memory and
proprietary Nvidia output that required a dongle to get
S-Video/Composite outputs. I really have no idea what's making the
difference; I only know that on my system there is no comparison, my
on-board TV-out just plain sucks.
