You'll have a really quest on your hands to find a video card with s-video out. S-video used to be common, but its rare now, cards that used to come with s-video now tend to come with HDMI.

I dont know of any current nVidia card with s-video out. There some older ATI/AMD cards with sivdeo around, but I dont think they are worth the cost.

One is 'low profile', the other is a standard 'full height' card.

Thanks cascade9: i ended up by getting HD6450,with VGA,DVI,HDMI.
I hope to be able to connect the HDMI to the small HD led monitor the DVI to the big Sony tv and use the VGA output to connect a PC to TV addapter that has RCA,SVIDEO out, then connect to a RF converter then to the rest of the house.

All This If this Video Card has drivers support for the 3 Outputs 1920x1080 DVI HDMI,
VGA 1024x768.

As far as I know you cant use 3 monitors with most AMD/ATI Radeon cards _unless_ 1 of the 3 is a Display port monitor (or a active display port to XXXX adapter).

The only exception I know of is the 'Flex Edition' sapphire cards, which can use 3 monitors without one being via display port.

*edit- I'm unsure how sapphire pulled that off, or if it would work with the linux drivers...

AFAIK, this only applies if you want to use the Eyefinity function, I am not quite sure that this is true for normal desktop usage.

thanks cascade9; so say i can't connect Dvi HDMI to have 1080i and Vga 1024 to this adapter to have signal to the RF converter?

I'm not 100% sure either, I'm no expert on multimonitor setups. But I've seen enough reports of 'cant get 3 monitors working with HD 5450/6450' forum threads (etc.) that I really doubt its in any way possible without eyefinity.

Thankscascade: i should have red more on the technical side,
i think i have to send it back cause the DVI is not the same as in my sony tv,see pic my tv input.

Does it look the same?

Well i investigated a little more and i think it's ok the output plug is the same DVI-D

also there is a benchmark of HD2000vsHD6450 my worries are the Power Sup!

Thanks cascade9: i also saw that,but one thing i'm cofused about is! i don't want to see the same full screen on the 3 monitors! i want to see individual screens although same pic screen, don't know if i'm making myself clear.
my motherboard if fully compatible with the ATI HD6450 card.

The TV has a DVI-D (digital, dual link) and the video card has DVI-I (digital + analog, dual link).

As long as you get a DVI-D cable it should work.

HD6450 has a max TDP ('thermal design power', but its also the max power draw in most cases) of less than 20 watts.

But its not going to help if you want 3 monitors.....the cheap cards (nvidia and AMD) generally have 2 monitors max.

Thanks cascade9; sure appreciate you patience with me, at least if i could figure out how to get resolution on VGA out 800x600 Monitor and 1920x1080 DVI to Tv Sony, then i would get a VGA splitter adapter to got to monitor and To VGA to TV.I saw someone suggest to get other Desktop cause Unity it's not very good for extended monitors and doesn't cut it, when comes to change resolutions with different monitors except mirror, at least the way is set up it only accept mirror monitors, maybe it has to do with Intel card HD2000 or the desktop or even the OPS, when my Ati6450 card arrives I'll check if it does the extended desktop.
