Hey guys..

Is there any way to replace the X1900XT with a much better video card in the Pro that has component output? I thought this might be the place to ask.

EDIT: The idea is that I have a bunch of content I want to watch on an older rear projection HDTV that only has Component-In.. no HDMI or DVI. =\ This is really the last leg of the road that is stopping me from buying a new system.

Buy an cable adapter such as

and use the 2nd dvi out of your MacPro right into the HDTV or with only one DVI out.

Or you could get the excellent Intensity Pro from Blackmagic Design. It includes both HDMI in and out and analog in and out, including component. This will not only offer you component monitoring but other possibilities also.

Cheers,
