out of date ... it went for maybe 70 bucks new when it was current .. quick check ... they fetch 30 bucks or so new over at pricewatch now

I have absolutely no idea what your budget is, but if its a single card you need/can afford and you have to have S video .. then I'd shop for the best deal on an 8500 you can find. New or used.

The 9800 also has dual monitor and S video. Don't know about you, but its out of my price league and its questionable the rest of your system can match it unless you do a major processor upgrade.
