    I currently have an Nvidia 8600GT on my Q6600 system. I want to add a 2nd video card so that I can simultaneously output both an HDTV and s-video/composite signal. Should I stay with Nvidia or get a cheap ATI card? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Any card that meets your output requirements will work. For best results, I would stick with a card from the same chip maker. But it shouldn't be an issue either way.

    You shouldn't need a second card unless you're running more than 2 displays. Are you running something else in addition to the HDTV and s-video devices?
