I have an eMachine 533id and I want to put in a new video card to get better playback on my DVD player. Ideally, I'd like to have TV output as well. I was looking at the All-in-Wonder VE PCI, but I've read a lot of messages on this forum about problems with All-in-Wonder cards and eMachines. Is there anyone who has successfully installed a video card upgrade on an eMachine? What card do you recommend?

When I bought my GeForce4 440 MX it came with a little dongle that attached to one of the monitor outputs that lets you do TV-output as a single (video only) RCA plug. With a quick trip to Radio Shack to get a headphones to RCA plug converter for the audio channels, I was up and running. The card is great, and the TV output looks good. However, I have no idea about its compatibility with eMachines.
