VGA/DVI to Component Video Card?

[SparkyGoBlue]

I picked up a Panasonic TV with component input for my cab today, but I can't get it working with the computer.  I'm using a VGA to component cable I got from monoprice.  I'm hooking it up to my on board video card (nvidia 6150SE). S-Video is working fine with the TV, though the picture is less than stellar IMO.

From my research, I'm gathering that my video card may not be able to work with component video.  Is this right, or is there something else going on?  Any recommendations on a card that would work well with component input? ATI seems to be pretty popular here.

Thanks

Edit: Just realized my mobo only has PCI Express, no AGP slot, so that may limit my choices.

they still have them in pci also but make sure you feed the tv the right res. from the pc.

Sorry to jump the thread here, but what exactly would be a good "res" for the TV? I've been using a AIW 7800 and going from s-vid to a RF modulator to coxial on my old TV. Games don't look to bad, I just can't figure out how to stretch the image to fill the whole screen.

I'm assuming you bought the same dongle I did, http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041901&p_id=2398&seq=1&format=2.  I don't think that is compatible with your video card.  Quote from monoprice site.

Compatible video cards include: ATI ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500, 8500DV, RADEON
9500, 9550, 9600, 9700 & 9800 series of video cards.

No, I got this one.

Any difference?

I don't think that is going to work but I'm not sure.  Another quote from monoprice.

I did some quick looking for the 6150se and I didn't see them mention this capability anywhere.  Found this on the nvidia site.

Thanks for the help.  I'm pretty sure the 6150SE isn't able to send a component signal to the TV.  I just ordered an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro which should take care of the problem.
