This cable is primarily used for connecting video projectors with Component-in capability through it's VGA port. It can only function with a VGA port that is either able to recieve or transmit Component signals (Y, Pr, Pb).
IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPONENT VIDEO SOURCES TO A REGULAR COMPUTER MONITOR OR HDTV unless you monitor specifically has this capability. Most do not. (Please check the documentation for your computer monitor)
THIS CABLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER'S VGA PORT TO THE COMPONENET INPUT ON YOUR HDTV unless your video card supports component out function through it's VGA port (please confirm with your video cards documentation before purchasing)
This cable will not convert RGBHV into Y, Pr, Pb.
This cable will not convert Y, Pr, Pb to RGBHV
This cable will not support Y, Cr, Cb.
So the question goes back, does this motherboard support component out through the vga port? I don't know, but I highly, *highly*, doubt it. These are not universal cables, people, they only work on very specific hardware built to support component output.
Here's another:

(only works with Radeon 8500 & 9600AIW)
These "adapters" are similar to the cables used in many of the new kvm switches, if any of you have a newer one. On one end of the cable is the standard vga, ps/2 keyboard, and ps/2 mouse. *But* on the other end is *just* a vga connector. You certainly can't hook this cable up to just any vga device and expect to have keyboard and mouse control as well. It's because the kvm switch is specifically designed for this cable.
Just like any vga > component or dvi > component adapters, the hardware must be specifically designed for such an adapter.
This is what you're looking for it you really want to convert vga > component:
