Please help me... because i wanna connect it to my HDTV so badly, i give you 10 points|||Should be OK. All the cables do is transfer signals--your video card is still in charge of what gets put through the cable. You'll be just fine.|||ok that's a bit confusing. s-video is one type of cable and component is
another they are not used together (at the same time)
i think you have an s-video cable with stereo audio cables
Component has three rca plugs red-green-blue
Stereo audio has two rca plugs red-white
All s-video cables are the same so you can use it no problem|||It won't damage the card, but it is likely that it will not work.
Most manufacturer's use proprietary breakout cables, with only the S-Video pins being standardized.
The only way to know for sure is to try it. Don't worry about it damaging the card, there is not enough power coming through the data cables to fry anything.
