I have an older system, but it doesn't have an AGP MB interface. Options?

Hi,

I have an older PCIE MB that does have old PCI slots, but no AGP slots. From what I understand, a few of the old ATI AIO AGP cards are quite good for analog video to digital due to both the hardware and the software they could use. There was some software called Soap I think?

If I can't find an old AGP computer in my area to buy, what would I be losing if I used an ATI USB 600 instead? Anything?

My current old system is running Windows XP Pro, so from an OS standpoint I should be gtg.

I'm also looking for a replacement SVHS player, as mine stopped working for unknown reasons, other then age. Anyone know of a reputable dealer out there?

I'm in Canada BTW.

Thanks for your help!

Buy used PC or motherboard equipped with AGP connector - this is simplest approach to solve your problem.

lordsmurf at digitalfaq.com discusses the difference: https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/video-capture/2451-ati-wonder-7500-a.html

He also has ATI 600 and clones here: https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/marketplace/8253-sale-ati-600-a.html

IIRC, not all ATI 600 are the same. Search his posts at digitalfaq.com (which is his home). You can try and PM him, but he's usually very busy.

The most reputable seller is again, lordsmurf. You might also try contacting Deter, but I don't know if he still sells VCRs. Machines from either will be premium priced, but guaranteed high quality.

@ls...is our deal for getting blueberries for recommending you still good??? ;-p

I don't even know how you would mail any kind of VCR, SVHS or otherwise, safely, considering how old they are.
