Composite Out Question

[pigwalk]

I just bought a x1800 that came with a couple cables for the video out, including a composite out (it's 3, 5 or 6 RCA outs, at work currently). On my non-gaming machine which is on the road to being my htpc/pvr setup I have a msi fx5200 with the same type of video out connector. Should the comp out that came with my x1800 work with the 5200?

Also while we're at it, I've heard that incorrect refresh rate settings can end up frying your TV, does anyone have a link to a faq that has some decent info on connecting your pc to your TV? Co-worker just sold me a 26" CRT widescreen (100 bucks ) and I want to have me some fun when I get home.

If you are asking about the cable and if you can use the X1800 composite cable with the 5200
(and I think you are) the answer is probably not. The connector on the card end might be
propreitary to only work with ATI cards.
