    Hi i have a video card Trident 3d Image 975 PCI 4MB
    It has an S-Video thingy in it and im just wondering how i connect it to my tv so i can use my tv as a monitor as well.
    First of all is it possible to do that with an S-VIDEO or do i have to buy a different video card??

    If your TV has an SVideo plug and your video card does also, it should be a matter of just hooking up an SVid cable. Keep in mind that most TV's have lower resolutions and your card is pretty old, so don't expect any brilliant results. You'll probably be happier using the monitor you have now...

    BTW- there are different types of Svid connections: I've seen 4 pin, 6 pin, 8 pin and 9 pin and I'm assuming that both the TV and video card have to have the same pin-out....
