    Hard choice.

    The asus has a better chip, but not as much SW support for tweaking as the BT878a chip in the other.

    If you are doing s-video in, I'd go with the asus. If you are using the tuners, It would depend upon which has a better tuner.


    --- That's my 2 cents ---

    Software.

    The BrookTree released the source for their driver for the BT8x8 chip. (Before they were bought..so the story goes) This caused a ton of free applications to be created that work with the chip. These tend to be better than the software that comes with the card. The asus card uses a philips chip. The software that came with the card is probably on a short list of software that fully works with the card.
