I am updating a friends HP system, everything is updated now except for the vid card. Man, this thing is just a mess inside to work on! I have never had to remove the PS and a HUGE fan to get to a mobo before. He wants to be able to capture from his VCR and make Mpeg's out of them for DVD/VCD's. He can only afford about $140, the only one I've seen so far is the ATI AIW 7500, listed at $129 online and $135 down the street at Macena's.
He's going to be gone for a week, so I have some time to work on it. I have yet to find a release date for the GF FX.
Here is the question: Is there a better card out there cheaper or same price at the moment? or is there a combo I am missing? I don't want to put an almost outdated card in the sys.
Any info would be greatfull!!!
Sys consists of: Win2kp, 900 Athlon, 448mb Sdram, SB Live, 45 gig hd, DVD/CDRW roms, generic HP mobo.
Cheers,
Gem
