TVOUT pci card?

[frereJacques]

I have a motherboard with an integrated GeForce graphics chip. I just want to add a PCI card to allow me to throw DVDs from my computer to my TV.

The old dual monitor card I have sucks for games and I'm not really wanting to spend $ for a good dual monitor card. Can I just find a PCI card that will not disable my integrated GeForce?

thanks

If all you want is to broadcast DVD's onto your TV, then the best alternative is to pick up a Hollywood Decoder card. You can get them second hand for considerably less then a new videocard. They have a RCA and s-video out as well as stereo out if you want to run the audio to your TV or other device. That way, you are also gauranteed excellent DVD playback, regardless of your processor.
