Video Card and TV Tuner (1 Viewer)

[ari89]

I'm after a cheap video card and my motherboard is agp not pci-x i think...are these any good for the price?

Radeon9250 128MB AGP (more info...) $50
Radeon9550 256MB AGP $85
Radeon9600PRO 256MB AGP $95 javascript:add_to_cart('Radeon9600PRO 256MB AGP', 'video', 'r9600-256');

What limitations etc do they have and what would they be able to handle...as I'm not a heavy gamer but when I'm bored I want my system to cope.

I'm also looking at a tv tuner

Leatech 2000XP RM TV Tuner (more info...) $45
MSI USB2.0 DIGITAL TV Tuner dongle (more info...) $75
MSI pci digital & analog TV tuner Combo (more info...) $80

if you got desktop, go with a pci tv tuner

it hink i got the MSI d+a one you have up

does the job, but you need to update the software that it comes with or else you can't get channel 10

ig you've got a pentium 4 2.0ghz, id recommend those cards because your processor is so shit that itll be the bottleneck in games.

if you've got a p4 3.0ghz or similar athlon and above, id recommend getting a nvidia 7300 or 6600gt or something aat leeast.

3 times as fast for 1.5 times the price of the radeon

Do you need an external antenna for the internal card?
