POINT 1: i am not a gamer (but still, someday...) i mean it, i have no games installed on my pc...no patience for 'em
pt 2: i am heavy photoshop user
3: i like watching tv on my monitor and capturing same to disk
4: i would like dual monitor capability but not in immediate future
i'm upgrading mb to soyo dragon plus, athlon xp 1900, 526 mb ddr sdram, 2 40gig drives and other neato stuff (big income tax refund!)
anyway, should i:
a) get kick ass top of the line 3d card (meaning what, i don't know) and seperate tv tuner? if so , what tv tuner (pci) do you reccomend
or
b)xtasy everything / matrox wonder (new ati all in wonder is out of my $range; i have all-in wonder 128 now) or other single-card solution
or
c)stick with my ati all in wonder 128 (on which capture isn't currently working, may work when i have new hardware installed)
mostly interested in WHAT Is considered a good AGP card today...remember, I AM A VIDEO VIRGIN so be gentle...and informative
thanks in advance...missed you guys over the last couple days when i couldn't connect...thought i would go banananas
go ahead and turn this into a video card debate if you want, i've got a lot to learn
also what website covers video cards indepth?
