Indeed, but how much headroom? 32Gb? > Bob's point on agp/pci is well taken, but you should consider if the card is > a 64bit/66MHz or what, the bandwidths are all well known at this point and > there *still* aren't many (if any) 4 headed AGP cards that are known to work > with linux...or windows... Indeed, that's what knocks the Matrox QID of the available list. I was assuming that Nvidia PCIe cards would work under linux with their binary driver.

But a 16X PCIe should be equivalent to (a mythical) 16x AGP, but bidirectional. Now for a PCIe capture card that works under linux... jh -- "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet." -- Plato
