I mean if I buy component cables for my Wii and play a component compatible cube game, will the cube game take advantage of it? This could be the end of the nightmare it was to hunt for component cables for the cube.

Well according to this site, yes they will run in 480p and look a bit better:
While we were playing around with the cable we tried loading up a older Gamecube game that supports 480p output in the Wii to see if the Wii would in fact scale the game up to 480p. Watch the video above to see our trial in action. For those of you that can't or don't want to watch the video, the Wii did in fact scale the game up to 480p instead of 480i. When the game was first loaded it asked if we wanted to run it in 480p mode we said yes and the results were positive. There was certainly a difference although not quite as dramatic difference as LoZ: TP has when changing between component and composite but an improvement none-the-less.

If you purchase component cables for your Wii, then yes, progressive scan capable GC games will run at 480p on the Wii. In that respect, your GC will look better on your Wii with component cables. :)
A GC game will look as good on the Wii with a component cable as it did on the GC with a component cable. A GC game on the Wii with the composite cable will look worse than it did on the GC with a component cable. Once you set the Wii to progessive scan you'll get the option of running GC games in progressive scan.

Oh I did misread it :. Didn't realize he was talking about component cables :P.
[QUOTE="Revelade"]I mean if I buy component cables for my Wii and play a component compatible cube game, will the cube game take advantage of it? This could be the end of the nightmare it was to hunt for component cables for the cube. No.

No.
The answer is yes. If you have a component cable for the Wii, and you set the Wii to progressive scan mode, any GC game that supports progressive scan mode will be able to run in 480p on the Wii. It is a fact. For example, when I start Mario Kart Double Dash on my Wii, is says "would you like to display in progressive scan mode" just like the GC did once I got a GC component cable. You hit yes, and the Wii plays a GC game in progressive scan mode.
Now that I re-read it I realize what I mean to say. I've heard that it is a barly notable change in graphics. Personally I don't thnik it's worth the time or money.

Have to have a EDTV or HDTV as well. Not all tvs that take in componet cables are capable of 480p. Gamecube games seem to load faster but then again they always loaded very fast.
Yes they will. You may have to hold down B at the beginning of a game at first to enable progressive scan though, but later you won't have to as long as you save.
