Since you didn't specify any not-to-exceed price, I'll assume you have money to burn (if not, then state your budget):

This is pretty good, comes with a very nifty breakout box, all for only $4,399.00!

I think there is a $8,000 card as well. but I can get a good use car for that price. What Windows do you have?

You can find them for as little as $50.00 but price depends on your OS and what you want it to do? The $50.00 almost always only works with
Win 98 and your screen is the size of a pastage stamp.

Verbatim,
I think you are getting your wires crossed, read the post carefully. I was talking about my car.

I've had good experience with ATI. When I first built my computer, the drivers were kind of sketchy, but that's taken care of. For the price, ATI makes great capture/video cards.

I have heard good things about ATI plus if your stuck with XP they have drivers for them as well even older one you can dl Xp drivers.

I have two systems, both using AMD chips(700 Duron, 900 Athlon) and both are using ATI cards. One is a ATI All In Wonder 128 Pro 32meg, AGP don't remember the other one. I just followed the directions that came with the cards for loading the software and had no problems. The only problems I did have was getting the VCD to play properly and that was my recording software. I have been using NTI, even updated to 2000 version, but my VCDs always came out blocky. Finally downloaded a new version of Nero, recorded the same files again and they played perfectly on my DVD and VCD players.
