Video Card Swtiching

[Guest]

I have a question about being able to have two video cards in my system at the same time. I'm off to college this fall and i want to get a TV tuner, but the best one out seems to be the on on the All in Wonder Radeon card. I heard that you could choose to either boot up with your PCI or AGP vid card in your BOIS. I have the Abit VT6X4, which is the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset, does that mobo have that capability? And is that a viable option for a TV tuner card? Abit's tech support isn't much help so i was hoping all could.

If you're gonna use the AIW Radeon why do you want 2 cards?? Explain a little more about your system. I'm just a little confused.

I have a P3 1ghz, Hercules Prophet 4500 (kyro II), SB live value, 256 PC133 RAM, and a hauppauge win tv go card as a tv tuner. The reason i want a AIW Radeon is essentially for its VIVO and TV tuner capabilities, which my prophet does not have, but the prophet runs Q3 much better; ie. HQ 1024X768 radeon= more or less 30 fps, where as i get more or less 80 fps with the prophet. that is why i want to run cards.

I think you'd get more than 30fps with the AIW radeon

Does the Radeon All-in-Wonder come in PCI?
