Come on Guys Help me out!!!!

I went to best buy to pick up a Radeon 7500 cause I am leaving on Sat. and I don't have time to buy one on the net and have it shipped. Well the All-In-Wonder was sitting next to it enticing me with all its features so I decided to get it. The 7500 was $150 and teh All was $170. I have always wanted a TV tuner card but never got one cause I didn't think I'll use it much and I still don't know if I'll use it much but it would be kind of nice to have. Right now I am using a TNT2 16 mb card and I am happy with it, it does everything I want it to do. So my question is will I notice a great difference video quality between the two if I am content with my TNT2 now? Also does the All have any known conflicts with XP?

My other question is: the Wonder says it can record TV-Shoes and stuff, about how much space does it take up and hows the quality? Would I be able to put a 30 min. TV show on a CD-R??

Also whats Best Buys return policy? If I open it and decide I don't like it will the charge me a restocking fee or what? The back of the receipt doesn't say anything about video cards or computer components.

Thanks

Yeah you could fit a few hours on a cdr if you converted to divx. I'm not exactly sure how much mpeg2 video eats up since I haven't used mine too much. To be honest I would recomend just getting the 7500 and not the aiw. My TV Wonder causes my system to become unstable and ATI's support sucks so I would recomend finding a different tv tuner. Also spending $150 on a 7500 doesn't seem like a good deal, I understand you don't have time to order online but still, seems like kinda a waste, you could get a g3 ti 200 for $170 or a geforce2 for around a hundred bucks. I don't think you'll be able to tell the difference in video quality if you're content with a TNT2. I just bought a Gainward g3 ti 200 and it supposed has excellent video quality but I can't really tell the difference between this and my old card, maybe I just have bad eyes... Don't know about Best buys return policy. By the way I'm running WinXP. Hope that helps.
