I have an ATI AIW 900Pro that I use for capture and it does a fine job.
In fact, there's nothing wrong with it at all.
But it doesn't support ATI's component video adapter, which means that if I wanna watch my video files or play games on my HD television, I'm stuck using S-Video![]()
the capture card was a (not exactly cheap!) gift from my girlfriend, and as I said, there's nothing wrong with it -- if I but a replacement (AIW X800XT) she will be PISSED.
so my question is: Can I install another video card (it would have to be a PCI card) that does support component out (720p at least) in my PC?
Yes, I want to have 2 video cards if possible.
One to capture with, and one to use for a 2ndary display.
I have completed my PC specs, just hovering over the button should pop them up.
TIA!

I'm not sure, but I think the only way to have 2 video cards is with the new SLI technology...if that's what you're talking about. You would need a motherboard that supports it, and 2 cards that work with it. Go to Nvidia's homepage for more info. Other than that, I have no idea.

Beavereater is correct. You need the new SLI technology, which is quite expensive at the moment.

hhmmmm....
i quite clearly remember going to CompUSA at least 2 years ago and seeing a PC that was set up with 3 monitors for a flight sim game.
did they do that with just one card?"To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." - Steven Wright

I don't know if you will find component out, but a PCI ATI card with DVI out can probably be used with a ATI DVI to component adapter. Check ATI for the adapter specs to see which cards it works with. I use the ATI component adapter with a AGP card to my Video projector with no problems. Should work the same with a compatible PCI card. There is also a VGA to component adapter, though I don't know much about it.
