Hi. I need to purchase a new graphics card for my Dell Dimension E310. I have one PCI slot and a PCIe slot. I would like the video card to work with Windows 7 and Windows XP. The video card---Nvidia GeForce fx 5200--seems to be dying. It is attached via s-video to my tv from the back of the card. The display on my television is black and white. I have tried Nview to correct the color, but nothing seems to help. To make a long and boring story short, I need a new video card or ideas to make the existing card work. Any help will be appreciated. deanie

Hi Trippster. Thank you for answering my post. The Nvidia card has a vga output, but I need a cable that can connect to the component video on my tv. I have searched for this kind of cable. Unfortunately I have not had any success.
Do you know where I can purchase a vga to component cable that is 8 feet long and at a reasonable price(under $50). I need it 8 feet long for my tv is in the next room.

Take a look at this place Here
They have several lengths and pricing seems reasonable. They are in California and Georgia. I hope this helps.

Trippster, I solved the problem. I reinstalled the graphic card and everything is working as it should. Also I found a s-video to rca connector in my "computer" bin, which did the trick. Thank you so much for your assistance. deanie44
