Since this is an analog VGA to component converter, I wouldn't replace the
videocard with a cheap one if the old one dies, since cheap videocards
usually have cheap components on them, and hence output a crappy analog
signal at high resolutions. The video card and cables will probably be
the weakest link in the proposed setup.
