Some of the cards I have did not come with a cable supporting s-video or
composite, only component. Perhaps I would just need a different cable,
but I did not explore that option.

I am glad that I did get the 8400 series card. I just check NewEgg and
the only low profile ready, fanless, component/s-video out card I saw
was a 7200GS and would not work with the new video API. Guess I just
lucked out with the card I bought.

Cheers,
