Most capture cards are PCI though there are a few higher end cards
that are AGP.
There are a few models of mobo that will allow the ATI capture
cards(PCI slot) to run and not interfere with the AGP slot video card.
Damn few though, ATI used to post a compatibility chart and NONE of my
mobo were on it.
Sounds to me like your assuming that everyone runs mobo that have only
AGP video as well. Many of us are still running pci video, after all
you don't need a gaming machine to do video so why waste the money?
( I've built my editors using older systems, most 2-4 years old so as
to save the money for more important things such as 3-chip cameras,
better lights and good quality sound gear.)
I only have AGP slots in 2 of my editors, the others all have pci
video.
If you're trying to get a video/tuner card to run in a second slot
it's alot easier on a pci only board vs. an AGP one.(I have an ATI
all-in-wonder that sits next to an older diamond card in one of my
systems and they get along just fine.)
Never gonna happen with the latest/fastest cards out today, especially
Nvidia.
