Hey Dr. Strangelove
I had a look at this on google breifly - its 4:45am after all! I think the one you have installed in onboard - as in 'built into the motherboard', which is never going to give best performance. However it appears to be newer than the one you found... I'm no expert on graphics cards- especially ATI ones so I'm not sure how this would pan out performance-wise. Unless you get better advice than mine (not difficult!) It might be worth plugging the one you found in - installing the drivers, and just see what the performance is like...
Alternatively, There are some people around these here parts who seem to know alot about about hardware (big-silver-hotdog springs to mind) I'm sure he wouldn't mind advising you - a PM maybe?
oh - you don't need the s-video cable, unless your planning on plugging it into your TV
