im pretty sure, i have an all in wonder 9000pro and it allows hydravision (more than 1 moniter) and has out to tv i believe and wait for more opinions you just need an adapter that turns into the moniter cable search around on bestbuy or something

yes its possible, just get a s-video cable, and if u dont have S-video input on ur tv, get a converter looks like...

then sorry man, u dont have tv-out...sorry

[Duffman]

you have to invest in a tv card that allows for tv in and out and stuff like that, i reccomend the ati all in wonder 900 pro allthough its a little expensive (180)

[DWk]

why all-in-wonder? just an ati wonder would do man....

every gfx card from the big names has an svid port

not all come with converters tho
so just get some cheap-ass card like a 5200 or a 9000 pro

in fact, the gf4 mx probly has tv out

Video NVIDIA® GeForce4™ MX graphics with 64MB allocated to video memory

Sounds like it is onboard using system memory,so no TV out.

im not talking about the nForce 2 chipset
im talkin bout the card itself (the thing that only costs bout 60 bucks or less)

all you need is a tv card and i compatible wire, and i like my all in wonder, it has the niftyist remote

[cwctv]

Yeah the REAL cards do but the links seem to say this one is onboard.

i believe an onboard card is a little different, because i have an onboard nvidia geforce 2 32mb and i disabled it and installed an agp one, because if its integrated and theres no slots on the back then its obviuosly a different one the actual card
