Hello,
I am looking at building a new computer, and one of the important things to me is the video card. My motherboard (Soyo Dragon Ultra SY-P4S) has a AGP slot (I think Pro, or 4X) and I was wondering if the ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV would be good for me. I'm mainly going to use it for the following things:
I won't be using it for Video Encoding as far as I know.
Are their any products that you would suggest instead?
Thank you to any replies this post might get, I don't want to spend my money on the wrong product,
Chris
I am looking at building a new computer, and one of the important things to me is the video card. My motherboard (Soyo Dragon Ultra SY-P4S) has a AGP slot (I think Pro, or 4X) and I was wondering if the ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV would be good for me. I'm mainly going to use it for the following things:
- Basic Internet browsing
- Alittle bit of gaming. Mostly games like Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2, the Sims, etc. Not highly intensive.
- Hooking it up to my cable and using it to watch TV as I browse or chat
- Recording TV shows using the TiVo-like software
- Downloading DivX movies and playing them through my TV (by hooking my video card to the RCA inputs in my TV).
I won't be using it for Video Encoding as far as I know.
Are their any products that you would suggest instead?
