Mediavoice is using the same config on Asus motherboards. We tend to stick with the Hauppauge capture cards as we've never had a problem with them, although I continue to search for a quad capture card that is trouble free and has four S-Vid ins.
The latest room config Mediavoice built uses a Colorgraphics Xentra GT4 Quad display but we had to go to the PCI version to get acceptable performance out of the card. All four outputs on this card are OpenGL compliant which is important in the visualization work in which this group is engaged.

So far this motherboard has worked great for us. A local retailer builds the machines for us. George At 10:44 AM 8/20/2004, you wrote: Thank you for that information Stuart. We are planning to purchase new computers and video capture to replace our aging AG1.x system. In several posts on this Tech group I have asked if there is a known to work hardware solution. While I don't nind a challenge it took us almost two years getting Dell to write newer BIOS before the 4 Hauppage cards would work together. We had to abandon Dell for our Display computer. So we wound up with more expenditure than should have been required. Please anyone chime in and contribute their recommendations for a full AG2.x functioning system. We don't require a turnkey solution.

I still have to manually change the input to s-video for each card on changing venues, I've not tried to resolve this yet. I'm hoping to carry out tests on Monday, probably starting around 9am GMT if anyone is around please let me know your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Regards Stuart --
