my friend gave me an old computer, so im modding it to be way smaller. When i was rearanging everything, i glanced at the graphics card, and it had an extra port. Upon further inspection, it sdeems to be a headphone jack. Is this used for composite output or sometyhing?

What's the name of the board?

If it's not on a label or anything, it might show up when you boot the machine up.

(If anything, the chipset number silk-screened on the chips would probably be helpful)

sorry to double post, but it looks like this

the white box on the top is the port i am talking about. The card is called the "diamond media stealth 3d 2000" any help would, well, help.
EDIT: this is a way better picture, made the other one a link

SUPER EDIT: i translated the page i found it on into english, and i think this might explain what it is.

When in the card the VGA connector besides the fact that the jack for expansion has been attached to the appearance, the " MPEG CONNECTOR ", the " FEATURE CONNECTOR " and the " LPB CONNECTOR " were loaded on the card.

im still confused though

1) that's a TRIPLE POST. (i shouldn't be talking...)
2) That's probably a non-american port for video.

sry bout the triple post. Well the second one
1. actually did have something to say
2. was made almost twenty four hours later, so it was almost a legal bump (i'm sounding like a cop here!)
