Ok, here is my thing. I am putting togeather a computer and still have to get a video card. I have spent the last few days looking up what types are out there to get and now I am hoplessly lost.
I was looking at the Radion 64 VIVO because it seems to have alot of the things that I would use. The only thing is, I have read alot of posts about how it has problems with capturing data. I want to be able to make VCD's of anime and home movies. I would also like to be able to record off of my TV/VCR.
I would also be using the card to play games online. I am not much of a gamer right now, but I was watching my brother play a few flight sims, and Ever Quest and I think I might really enjoy these games. All of the comparisons that i have seen have the Radion ranking almost last in gameing video. Seeing this, I am now thinking about getting a Geforce card, and a seperate card for the vidoe stuff that I would like to do. If I got this route what would I need?
Is this what I should do? If I get a Geforce2 card I am looking at either a Pro, or a GTS card. I would like to have a good graphics card as I am trying to put togeather a computer that will let me do just about anything that I need.
On a side note, I have a IBM P200 monitor that has some wacky connector, it is a 13W3 and that would not hook up to a standard video plug. I got a adaptor, but for some reason it still will not work. I hooked it up to my brothers computer, but nothing happens. I ran the test feature on the monitor, and it worked so I am guessing it is not a problem with my monitor. Any Ideas?
