I just bought a new Gateway media center PC.  It's got S-video ports on the back and AV ports in the front.  It's got Vista Ultimate, which includes windows media center.  I'd like to set this system up in my room with surround sound to play pc games, watch DVD movies... and, if I can, play console games.  Can I connect my Wii to my computer and play it?

If it conntects to your video card it should be fine, if it doesn't there will probably be a 1 second delay...
