    Install the drivers for Radeon All in Wonder 9000. Use the ATI software to view on tv.

    SP3? I didnt know one was out? Where can I find it?

    S-video wont show as a second monitor however it'll show as a piss poor single monitor (or copy of whats on your monitor). S-video really sucks...the definition is poor so i dont think they have ever made a video card that would turn it to a second monitor (just a stand alone)

    I have 3 computer that do the dual monitor thing and on the back you'll see:

    two vga outlets

    or

    two dvi

    or

    one vga and one dvi

    there may be a s-video on either but not ment to work as dual in the skeem of things (i could always be wrong)

    here's a how to video ... pay attention to the adaptor (aka gender changer)(about $10 @ Fry's) that will be between the monitor cord and computer ---> http://www.pcworld.com/video/id,367-page,1-bid,4/video.html

    good luck
