ATI x600 Pro Graphics Card, PCI, or USB Solution

[Houndstooth]

I am in the process of building a new computer intended for editing video. I am trying to decide what the best hardware solution for capture, edit and rendering. There is the ATI x600 All-in-Wonder card that has integrated analogue and digital capture. The one I am considering is PCI-E.

And then there is the other solutions PCI, USB, Firewire.

My gut says that the PCI-E is the best interface to go with since it is the fastest interface. Any thoughts???
Proposed mobo:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum but the Radeon x200 chipset looks interesting

I would personally go for the card that is capable of both analog and digital capture. This will not limit you to only one kind of capturing. EG, DV camcorder.
The analog will allow you to capture older VHS video and older camcorders that do not have firewire.

I bought the pinnacle Studio8. Does both. And realtime rendering right on the card. DSP built in.

Get a cheap Geforce MX or 9600SE or something with a Happauge card. MUCH better quality than any AIW, as well as some other features.

Yes, I think I have talked myself out of the ATI card. A card that has everything but the kitchen sink I sure gets a bit clogged at times. I am already putting all my old video into my new video camera via the s-video cable, so I don't absolutely have to have the analogue capture. The ATI card gets good reviews but not fantastic ones and I want fantastic. Call me crazy, but I feel like the Geforce would be safer since it is an Nvidia chipset on the mobo.
