This is a strange one that I've been fighting with all day. Windows 2000 which prior to today has worked for over 6 months on an Abit KT7 Duron 650@650, 128 megs RAM and plenty of HD space. Here's what happens... As Windows 2000 boots I get the splash screen as things load as normal. Near...

How long is a piece of string? Please give us more information to get your question answered. Do you want it to be analog or digital inputs? MJPEG or MPEG-1 or MPEG-2? You say "Not to (sic) expensive", but inexpensive to the Elvis impersonator downtown and inexpensive to a Vegas Elvis...

Look up the All In Wonder over there, and then the Radeon 64 meg VIVO. That will tell you everything that you need to know.

All depends on what you plan on doing on the computer really. FPS games? nVidia. Anything else? Radeon.

Gotta agree with the G200 option. Too bad you cannot get newer Matrox cards in PCI anymore. A GeFarce as a secondary card isn't worth it.

Might wanna try the "Prayer" forums...;)

A couple of things. Firstly, they are not "hostages". Hostages don't get to send emails to their loved ones during the captivity period. Hostages are generally blindfolded and under extreme conditions, where these people are neither. They are detainees. They are being held in good...

Another vote for the Radeon. Image quality kicks nVidia booty.

If gaming-wise you are into things like Everquest and not the first-person shooters then I would suggest going with a Radeon, as the nVidia-based boards aren't that great at 2D which is where the Radeon's shine. Their 3D is very good too, but it sounds like the 2D world is what you are...

Check out some of the video card reviews on the main page. Anandtech does a pretty good job at reviewing them.

VirtualDub is a video processor and not a video editor. Big difference there. Unfortunately there really isn't anything on the freeware side of the wall that would do what you are looking for.

The closest you can come on the nVidia front would be the Asus cards, which from my research they are buggy as Hell. Don't be afraid of the AIW. I've gotten it working fantastically and the gaming performance is great.

I'm in Windows 2000 and all is well. If you install the card from a clean install of 2000 and follow the instructions that were highlighted here, your success is almost guaranteed. Remember that Windows 2000 is not a gaming platform, and you have to do some things differently to get it to...
