RGB Cable question
I got a Radeon x800XL today, with VIVO, and it has a connection for RGB but you have to have cables to plug into it. My question is this: are normal composite cables (Red, yellow, white) the same in terms of the cabling or not? If they are then can I just use a composite cable to plug into the RGB jacks?

If they actually called Component cables, then they are like composite video cables except that they are generally made with a solid conductor core - like cable the cable TV companies use (called RG-6, RG-58, RG-59).
Could you post the exact made and model of the card and a link to pictures (or just pictures...) of the adaptors the card has?

the hook ups u speak of are the component video output connection for HD TV i believe, and i dont believe a reg video RCA will do you any good as each one transmits a color, dunno you can try, did u get an S-Video cable with yer card and an S-video to yellow RCA adapter?? s-video is nice, u can tell a difference over just the yellow RCA

I got the Radeon x800XL from newegg for $275.00. This is what is included (besides the video card):
 I don't want to cut the cable, obviously, I just want to know if it's pretty much just a copper/nickle connection so that any cable that would fit in the slots would work to send the info through.

Well I just tried it because I thought it wouldn't hurt just to check it and the answer is no. Using normal component cables doesn't work. The image on my TV was a blue hue. Guess I need to go out and buy some RGB component connectors.

Really sounds like you had a bad cable or connections - new decent cables should help... The connectors you're using are called 'phono' or RCA connectors BTW...

Right, the component RGB cables are made differently than the standard A/V dubbing cables, but still use standard 'phono' (RCA) connectors. Didn't mean to confuse the issue...
