Even if the card has the video port (looks like an S-Video port) it may not be a VIVO card as it could be Video Out. The only way to tell is by looking on the back of the card for the Rage Theatre chip. If that is there, then your set.

Take a look at the follow picture HERE. The top card has no Rage Theatre chip (video out only), while the bottom one does (VIVO), however if you look at this picture HERE you will notice that both cards have an S-Video connector.
