| 294257 | 2004-11-20 07:48:00 | Hi, Are these cards any good? After looking at FAQ 666 i see the card ranks ok on the worst to best list. Is it ok having a tv tuner all in one? I need to buy a tuner, and a new graphics card to replace my old geforce4 mx440 I have xp home P4 2.4 ghz 1gb ram agp 4x Is the maker of the card ok, or can anyone recommed something better? Retail price is just under $500 Thanks for feedback.... |

| 294259 | 2004-11-20 08:33:00 | are you planning on gettting a new motherboard as well - agp 8x will not work with agp 4x - totaly different everything | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 294260 | 2004-11-20 08:38:00 | From what i've been told most 8xagp cards will work in a 4xagp pc, with only minimal difference in function... So I hadn't planned on it... |

| 294261 | 2004-11-20 08:39:00 | what are you on about ApeNZ, almost all agp8x cards are fully backwards compatible with agp4x, the slot is the same, trust me it works, i currently run 2 different agp8x cards in 2 different agp4x motherboards with no problems whatsoever | lagbort (5041) | ||

Usually they'll work just fine, just at 4x speed rather than the possible 8x (if combined with the 8x slot). Mike. |

| 294264 | 2004-11-20 08:51:00 | Thanks lagbort... That's what I thought. Would you recommend the card above? Or would you buy a tv tuner seperate from the graphics card? Cant figure out what graphics card to buy. Any opinion around about $300 retail? Cheers! |

| 294265 | 2004-11-20 08:57:00 | Well I think I'm clear on the 4x and the 8x now. Yah! What would be the best deal for a graph card around $300-400, if I got the tv tuner seperate? Is it best to get it seperate? :-) |
Mcpisik (4924) | ||
| 294266 | 2004-11-20 08:57:00 | if it was me i would spend $300 on a good graphics card then save up extra to get the tv tuner, but it all depends on what your main use is, gaming or tv capture or what? | lagbort (5041) | ||
