I dunno; maybe it's not the chip itself; maybe it's the vendor 
implementation.  Mine (NV18) is on-board with shared video memory and 
S-Video out; my old card (NV17) was an AGP card with its own memory and 
proprietary Nvidia output that required a dongle to get 
S-Video/Composite outputs.  I really have no idea what's making the 
difference; I only know that on my system there is no comparison, my 
on-board TV-out just plain sucks.
