^^^That.  RCA is the connector type.  Component uses RCA connectors too.  Composite/Component is the signal type and they both just happen to be designed with the same connector.

I have 8600's in three of my machines and a 7300 in another, although I'm using the S-vid input.
It's running at 1024 x 758, but I drop it down to 800 x 600 when I have to read stuff in windows.
I've used the component inputs and they look a lot better, but I need s-vid for the light guns.

What kind of problems are you having?

BadMouth:

Do you have Nvidia software installed that lets you choose what signal the s-vid connector on the video card is putting out?

It has to be set in the software whether you are using composite, component, or s-video.  It won't detect it automatically.
IIRC, it defaults to S-vid because that can be plugged in without the adapter pigtail.

Not true at all, you just have to know how to set it up.  Standard definition TV's can display native arcade resolutions.  This means around 240p, which looks worlds apart from 480i.  480i will be blurry by comparison and lack proper scanlines, both due to the scaling.

An SDTV can be set up with MAME to rival the quality of a real 15kHz arcade monitor.  Second link in my signature.

Btw, all of these vga to tv converters add input lag because of the scaling.
