Does anyone have experience/recommendations between using a VGA to Component
Converter as opposed to one of the Geforce cards with component out?  Such
as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127174

Thanks,
Todd

I've heard only good things about the Audio Authority A960. I bought one for
a different reason, but it doesn't work in my setup (standard TV only). I'd
be willing to sell if it you decide you want one. I think I paid $100US for
it. Do some more research, and let me know if you want mine.
