    this mobo does not have s-video out or composite (yellow rca) out. it does have HDMI out, so if you have a hi-def TV with HDMI inputs you can connect your computer to your TV that way.

    if your mobo goes to 16 gigs, then you don't need sticks larger then 4GB. as ddp said, just get 4 4gb sticks. note that if you're using XP it only supports up to 4gb of ram. vista supports more.

    as ddp mentioned about, xp and vista 32 only read up to 3.5GB of RAM. so even though the mobo supports up to 16, your OS only supports 3.5GB. purchase two 2GB sticks. two 2gb sticks are faster then 1 one 4GB stick...thats the way DDR ram works.

    the HDMI port is the connector between the two video outputs and the optical toslink port, slightly left of the middle. like i said above you need a hi def TV with HDMI inputs to be able to connect your computer to you TV though.
