You'd need to upgrade the video card to run any modern game at native.
Well that isn't going to happen. I have a AGP in a dual Xeon board .... I
just did the X800 last December which was the fastest AGP available.
If you're set on the AIW,
No, from now on no more AIW...they are not worth the grief. I will go with
standard video cards and separate tuners. I will say that the recording
results appear to my eye to be better on the AIW then any stand alone I
have seen to date.
Agreed--I learned the same lesson back with the Matrox Rainbow Runner. You
might look at the ATI Theatre 550 card...supposedly one of the best analog
tuners out now.
But I am not ready to move on to a PCIX board.
Nitpick--PCIe. PCIX has already been taken. :)
you're probably looking at an X1800 XL AIW or X1900 AIW, unless you run
old games only.
I am not a gamer, so it isn't that big of a deal, although I do have a
copy of Half Life II I haven't used yet... so what happens when I load
that?
A review I found of the X800 XL AIW showed 56fps at 1600x1200 (4xAA, 16xAF)
in HL2, and that was in November...so you're probably going to be decent
with that game.
