Should I get the ATI All-in-wonder 9700?

Currently I am using a Visiontek GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB card. I want to get into video editing and I noticed the ATI AIW. It'll do what I want (video editing, Tivo-like functions, TV tuner, etc), but costs an arm and a leg. ($400). I do some gaming (maybe 3-4 hours a week), but I'm not a hardcore gamer. Should I

A. Get the AIW 9700 and sell the GF4
B. Get the Ati 9700 Pro and get a capture card
C. Keep the GF4 and upgrade to video editing hardware

Money's not a problem, but I want to get the right mix of performance vs. being economical.
 
You really only have 2 choices:
*Get a TV card like the Leadtek TV2000XP for like $60, it'll probably do much of what you want for a great price.
*You would be smart to get a AIW 9700 over a 9700 with a seperate tuner unless you need dual head. The AIW is only $50 more than a 9700 pro, and includes the remote, pinnacle software and native component video output. No seperate card woud give you that, especially for $50.
