Jeff I think you'd be better off just picking up the correct vid card. I'm runnng a ATI Radeon 9600 with that same adapter. I think the card cost me $20-30 bucks on eBay.

Amazing pictre BTW, so much sharper than S-vid.

Heh, I'm actually checking eBay right now...

It's not a big loss. I actually already had the 9800 card just sitting around from even before I got my cabinet started. Still, it's a hassle that I'd rather not have had to deal with. Little setbacks like these feel like an eternity to overcome when this close to finishing.

Knievel:

It's frustrating alright, just be thankful you're in the US.
When I need a part for something it's usually a 2 week wait, if Customs doesn't pinch it. Then it's a month. :P

sadly the manufacturers dont fully explain the differences i the DVI connectors, and most stores and websites just lumpthem all into one "DVI" connector, much to the chagrin of those of us that have tv's with DVI inputs....

needless to say i have been victim to this mis-information in the past....

good luck with your issues

Jeff AMN:
So just to be sure, the DVI out on the 9600 cards will work with my ATi DVI to Component adapter, right? I'm going to put in a bid on a card right now...

Knievel:

This is like the one I have Jeff, it's a genuine ATI 9600 card with that same part#..
