  1. I've a Marvel G400 that I use to acquire from a hi8 (in composite.. )sony for my family films. I also use my computer to play, but the most recent games cry when thay realize my G400.

    I thought to buy a radeon 9000 vivo, which is supposed to be a decent game card and to be able to acquire video signals also. Could it work?

    I've a 1.4 athlon , 256 mb ram with 2 30gig hd in raid 0, pioneer dvd writer and so on...my doubt is if I can acquire 704 576 with this card (the g400 uses hardware compression in mjpeg...without hardware compression will I be able to acquire the signal?? and how??)

    Thanks a lot and bye from Italy

    If you're asking if the ATI is a better card than the G400 at capture then yes, it blows the Matrox away.
    I had the G400 with the Rainbow Runner G-Series add-on and whilst it was superb looked like a dinosaur compared to my current ATI 64mb DDR Radeon Vivo.
    I don’t play many games so can’t comment on it’s performance but it’s 64mb DDR compared to the Matrox 32mb so I guess there’s a good guide
    I have played Medal of Honour (sorry, Honor) with the ATI and whilst I never played it with the G400 it looks stunning.
