    I am tryin to learn about TV capturing. I have a 3.0 ghz hyper-threading processor. I am looking for a graphics card (or a video card what ever you want to call it) that supports a tv in eg:coaxil, and also supports dual independent monitors. I am just lookin for some ideals on how to go about this. I also have one agp8x slot open. sincerely prodigy420

    sexpeg, if you read prodigy42's post you'll see he has an 8x agp slot so can't use a pci/e card as that is on new motherboards
