    hi guys,

    I bought Dell Latitude D630 laptop which has Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 video card. I would like to buy VGA to component video cable to connect my laptop to my TV.
    But the seller says "THIS CABLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER'S VGA PORT TO THE COMPONENT INPUT ON YOUR HDTV unless your video card supports component out function through it's VGA port "

    So i would like to know whether my video card supports component out function through its VGA port.
    Please advise.

    Thank you,
    shashi

    I'm guessing that it does not if it isn't directly advertised in the tech specs.
