Did anyone else notice that you cant really upgrade to a decent card if you want to have the video-in/capture ability? All the cards either only have video out, or simply dont support both!!
start making some better cards (128meg DDR) that have video in capabilities!! I have an ATI Radeon 64meg DDR, and its not keeping up with todays gaming demands, but I dont want to lose my video capture option (since I dont have a dvd-ripper, and cant afford to spend $400 on one) so im stuck with it until they come out with a better one.![]()
boooooooooo!!!!

If by DVD "ripper" you mean DVD "burner" you can get one for less than 200 bucks and with just a simple DVD rom drive you can do a plenty useful DVD/video work. Also you can get a seperate capture card which will do better capturing in most cases anyway and run any card you want for gaming. Can get pricey, but such is life friend. I'm not sure where the relation between a drive and a capture card came into play here.

Problem ever since 3DFX went belly up, now Nvidia can turn out crap(and are) and your stuck with it, many of times thought of replacing my VooDoo 5500, but would take a $300 to do so I have -0- problems withmy card, no bluse screens, no lockups, true won't play some of the newest hotest games strictly designed around the Nvidia chip, keep in mind the Nvidia chip are CPU based while the Voodoo cards while card and ram based, so the faster your processor the better the crappy Nvidia card will work. The ATI is also a CPU based run video card also.
