rgb to vga or svideo to vga adapter?

[GroundZero]

looking to get an adapter to go from r/g/b or s-video to vga so i can run dual monitors from my 9800 pro all-in-wonder

S-video is going to look horrible so r/g/b to VGA would be the only option to attempt to get good output.

As an alternative, you could get a cheap PCI videocard and use that to hook up the second monitor. That would probably be cheaper and easier than getting an adapter.

Is RGB not VGA with the sync signal combined. Or am I thinking about something else.

I don't know what the OP means by "RGB". Component (YPbPr, usually with red/green/blue cables)? SCART? Or something else?

I'm guessing component, since the 9800Pro can actually output that. However, I'm not sure you can output component + VGA/DVI at the same time on the 9800 AIW.

Component to VGA requires a (pricey) transcoder. Get a second video card.

Component is sometimes RGB, but RGB usually refers to three cables, each carrying red, blue, and green, with sync usually on green, as opposed to Y/Pb/Pr. VGA carries pins for RGBHV, interestingly enough.
