Radeon X300 with TV. Need Advice.

Thanks for the info guys.  I bought a used desktop PC, so it came with no cables.  What you are saying is one of those S-video to Component cables will probably work for this card.  That would be outstanding.  I will look into getting a set.  I see E-bay has a bunch of them for cheap.

jWin:

Right, its a universal connector on the card itself...  make sure it has the same amount of pin holes on the card as pins on the cable.

also you probably wont get a picture in DOS, in other words nothing will show up on screen until windows loads.


jWin:

here is what you should need, 9 pin ATI component cable, count the holes first on the card though.

Thanks Jwin.

The S-video female connector on my PC card is 7 pin.  There are 7 pin to componet cables out there.  Should I get one of those? 

Interestingly, I think that the 9 pin cable that you showed me might work because the extra two holes might fit into a larger hole that doesn't look like it has any conductors in it.  Any ideas? 

jWin:

go for the 7 pin cable if thats how many holes your card has,  it *might* not work though (nither would the 9 pin),  im not 100% sure if the x300 supports component but I know the x1300 does.
