Hey all,

I just joined the forum from a link from tv-cards.com's forum. I've spent the better part of today trying to decide on a video card and tuner card. My daughter will be off to college in the sping and im building her and her friend a new system. The base system is a antec lanboy case becuase is nice and light. MOB is either a abit or asus just because I've had good results with both. Im planning on a socket 754 due to the lower cost and AMD 64 3400. I decided on a maxtor ide 133 over the 150 sata becuase comp usa has a 250 gig maxtor for 60.00 after the rebate vs 108.00 for the segate sata at newegg. I didnt think there was enough of a performance boost not to save some cash. Niether of the girls play games and will be using the computer for school, internet and multimedia, i-pods , music and thought a tv tuner card would be a nice addition to the system. Im planning on a vewsonic VA 1912 wb wide screen max resolution of 1440 x 900 LCD. WIN XP PRO


My questions are:

1. what do you think of the above sytem specs.

2. Newegg has a evga fx5500 dvi and analog out s-out 256 megs. 39.00 on
sale. Would this card work well with a tv tuner card or can you
recommend which card would be better? I' like to say under 80.00-100.

3. ok the perverbial which turner card? seems the pv-150 is the choice by
alot of people here. I also looked at some of the reviews of the ati550
chip which was favorable except for the cyberlink software. Hopefully they
will be studying vs watching tv but we all know about lol. I know nothing
about tv cards so which would you recommend?

4. What ever card I decide on by downloading the gbpvr software, does that
mean I should not install any of the drivers or software that comes with
the tv tuner card?

Thanks in advance everyone
