Recommendations for the best featured Video Card Please!

[tyoung88]

Hello everyone! I'm in the market for a videocard that has TV Tuner, DVD, and hopefully really good 3d graphics in one. I know that the ATI Radeon All In Wonder can do all this in one card but are there any others. I'm also running Windows 2000 and I've read some threads that the Radeon AIW doesn't run well in Win2k.

Thanks,

Tyler

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 work. Setting a higher priority to your game processes is the best way to go.

thanks for the info. I'm not much of a gamer but I still like the ability to play the occassional game with good performance. Is there anything like an all in wonder based on an NVIDA chip?

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.

looks like AIW is the way to go. What's a decent price to pay for a Radeon AIW right now?
