found a great video card for mame using a tv- bootup with component video!

[ultravorx]

as you guys might know, ive been having flickering boot screen in bios, a non working ati component adapter for my radeon 9700 pro 256 agp card.

so i bit the bullet yesterday and bought the evga 6800 gs 256mb nvidia ap card.    what a card it is!  it comes with the s video and component dongle right in the box!   component video actually works during boot, meaning i can play with the bios with a pc monitor!   the component picture quality is unbelievable, no overscan, a perfect 480i picture on my insignia 27" tv.

the other thing i noticed are games like tekken and war gods ran so much faster.  i was under the impression video cards didnt make a differance, but it actually did.

they have the card at circuitcity for 170 with a 20 rebate.

i highly recoment this card!
