S-video out port to another vga monitor?

[jonEgrace]

I have been on the hunt for answers...
1.) Have: AtiGFX card with 1vga port and 1s-video port

2.) Wondering if it is possible to convert the signal from the s-video
port to another vga monitor via an adapter/converter

3.) If so, what kind of quality can I expect.

4.) Hoping someone has tried this and has time to reply with informed
answers...

It's possible - just google for "video vga converter". I tried it out once
for displaying a presentation from a notebook on a large video screen, but
it looked horrible.

Thanks for that,
any thoughts on an average sized- 17-20" vga monitor though?

It'll still be horrible. You won't be able to read any text unless you set
the resolution to 640x480 or less. 640x480 looks pretty bad on a 17" monitor
as it is.

For the price of a S-video to VGA adapter, can't you pick up a cheap PCI
video card for $2-$3 on eBay?
