no it does not appear to come with S/PDIF. it just has s-video hook up.

good replies. i realized that i do have a long audio cable that i can run from my sound card into my receiver which is attached to my speakers. so does anybody know if using a longer cable would affect image? also for the long run.. 10years and more. would it make more sense to buy hdmi to hdmi (is this a standard being moved to from dvi? or should i just use dvi to hdmi and connect dvi to video card and hdmi to tv?

i found 25 feet of hdmi to hdmi on newegg for $22. another question i thought of is sound. if i used hdmi i understand it carries sound as well as video. would this mean that playing a moving on the pc would allow the sound to played by the speakers on the flatscreen in the other room?

alright this is what i want. i have computer with monitor and a flatscreen tv. the computer and monitor are next to each other. the flatscreen tv is in another room. i want the computer connected to both the computer monitor and flatscreen tv. the purpose of this is to set the computer up to do dual screen when i want to play movies on the flatscreen tv in the family room. what is the best way to do this? my video card is a gtx 260 which has 2 dvi connections. i have 1 dvi connection currently being used to connect to the computers monitor. should i? 1. buy dvi to hdmi cable to (dvi hooked into computer and hdmi into flatscreen tv in another room) 2. buy hdmi to hdmi (use converter on video card to convert dvi to hdmi and hook computer and flatscreen tv with hdmi at both ends. now either cable will be 25ft or longer in length will this effect performance in any way?
