Video card w/ VIVO???

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

I'm looking at a radeon X600.......it has the VIVO...Does anyone know if this these cards are any good?

Basically, I'm upgrading from a GF4 mx440 so anything would be an improvement for gaming....but I'm also trying to get something that I can use to capture my 8mm video camera footage.

I"m using a 9800 all-in-wonder pro and love it. I watch TV all the time and record shows like crazy. I also have it connected to my TV so I can watch stuff i record. It's also really easy to plug in something (Video camera, Playstation, etc.) and capture it. Prepare to use alot of hard drive space. Its a blast watching tv and playing countstrike.... not always the best idea though....

I didn't notice that the x600 was a PCI express card......

Yes I have used older version's of the all in wonder style cards, but since I have upgraded my video carmera and it has a firewire connection I use that now to capture my movies.

I still just use a vcr to record tv shows if i'm going to miss them lol.

My advice to you sabre would be to get the ATI Radeon 9800 pro ALL IN WONDER....the price has dropped soo much and its an all around EXCELLENT card.

yeah, If you throw in another 90 bucks you can get a HDTV tuner that plugs directly into the 9800.... Dual tuners wahooo!!!!!!!!
