3. Gigabyte GV-N66256DP With HDTV Output
This AGP graphics card uses a two-sided Zalman-designed radiator for the Nvidia graphics chip on the front of the card and the video RAM chips on the back side. Next to the usual VGA and DVI video outputs, this $135 card offers auxiliary S-Video and component video outputs - the latter via a dongle that attaches to the S-Video port.

EVGA GeForce 6600 Heatsink Edition
The GeForce 6600 graphics card is PCI-Express-based, includes 256 MB of video RAM, and uses the same S-video plus component video via a dongle scheme used by the previous products. It also has VGA and DVI-I outputs. This card is the thinnest and narrowest full-height passively cooled graphics card that we know of, and is an excellent choice for HTPC builds.
