I think this is the sort of card I need as I hope to build an SFF. There seem to be TV cards built into MX440 cards and into FX5200 cards. I think the former are more expensive, but don't really understand the difference and which is enough for a computer that will only be used for a PVR & office work.
I think that the Asus 9520 HT looks interesting, but don't understand why they put some smart cooling technology in the video-suite version but not in the home theatre (http://uk.asus.com/products/vga/v9520vs/overview.htm). After all the latter is bound to be used in the living room and hence be sound sensitive. Simon On Friday 24 Dec 2004 02:32, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Nope, I mean encoding.
