The capture device is just half of the story, You have to have a good playback hardware for stable signal to begin with, Most USB capture devices at least the non fake ones can capture lossless analog video signal just fine through USB 2.0 port.

Assuming the OP still has a Pentium 4 CPU in his PC (as spelled out in his computer details), a PC from the Pentium 4 era could easily have no PCI-e slots, just like it could have no USB 2.0 ports. A capture device with a PCI interface or an AGP interface worked best back in the day when a Pentium 4 CPU was considered modern. USB wasn't reliable enough back then. There are only a few PCI capture devices still in production, and no AGP capture devices still in production.
As far as USB 2.0 instability, I have a USB 2.0 capture device that I first used with an Athlon II x2 system I built in 2009. I never had a problem on that system or my Haswell i-5 system. I don't recall anyone else (vaporeon800 or lordsmurf for example) using a capture device with a USB interface on a newer system in recent years complaining that USB isn't stable enough. If the OP has replaced the Pentium 4 PC with one that includes a more modern CPU and USB 2.0 connections which operate at full speed, a USB 2.0 device should work just fine. -
Both of the USB capture devices you listed are acceptable hardware, if your computer is compatible with them and exceeds the minimum system requirements. Please update your computer details if they are not correct.
