Gigabyte K8N51PVMT-9

Has anyone seen the new Gigabyte K8N51PVMT-9? It's designed for media center PC's and has integrated HDTV output (via S-Video rather than component out, but oh well)

I was just wondering if this can output Standard Definition as well? There's nothing in the specs or press releases anywhere that talk about it.

First of all, S-Video doesn't support HDTV. And from what I've seen the Gigabyte board has a breakout box with both S-Video and Component connections.

Hey, thanks for the heads up.

based on your link, I was able to find some reviews of the chipsets, and yes, It claims to support SDTV as well (and the S-Video on the breakout box is a good giveaway).

I don't yet own an HDTV, but am planning to get one next year, but I want to build a media center PC now, so that was my concern.

It looks like a killer platform.
