I have an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 graphics card with a S-Video output and DVI output. and a monitor thing output....well i think i just need the S-Video output. But how would i go about doing that and hooking it up to my TV? I am almost positive i use the S-Video output on my video card but what cable do i need.....and what do i do for sound?

If your TV has an S-Video input cable, just run down to a Circuit City/Radio Shack/whatever and buy an S-Video cable.
For sound, you'd want to find a cable that goes from a 3.5mm plug (normal headphone jack, and probably what's on your computer's audio outputs) to two RCA plugs...then you can just output from your sound into your TV's input on sound.

Most likely at Radio Shack.
