AIW Radeon 7500 or AIW Radeon - which should I get?

[cgsauer]

I've decided to get an AIW Radeon card to use as my video card and capture card. My question is, is the 7500 with 64mb worth the extra money over the AIW Radeon with only 32mb (extra $60). I do not play any games and will really just use this card for capture to vcd and dvd along with basic graphics. Thanks

I believe the capture quality is the same on all the Radeon cards, the only difference is the VGA quality (speed). If you're not into intense gaming, advanced video editing, or CAD creation, I would go with the cheaper version. Save the rest of the money for the next upgrade, like a faster and higher capacity hard drive, RAM, CPU and so on.

Thanks for the reply, I am not into gaming but what do you mean by advanced video editing? I want to be able to edit my captures (nothing fancy though) and don't want the card to prevent me from editing and later making dvds. Is the 32mb still ok?

Don't forget that nifty RF remote control that is bundled with the 7500 (and 8500) AIW. Also Hydravision (one display, VGA or DVI, can be connected and active simultaneously with either a TV or VCR).

Don't forget that nifty RF remote control that is bundled with the 7500..... AIW.

Not for us unfortunate buggers in the UK.....! Ours is distributed by Hercules, and you can buy it seperately.....if you can find someone who will sell you one! The only place I've found so is France, but they're out of stock, and it's probably got French words on the buttons....!

Pukker card though.....
