For my main desktop, I use a Pixelview FX5700 with 256mb RAM and do a fair
amount of digital editing... the O/S is MCE2005... I chose that particular
card because it also has VIVO capability which is useful for capturing from
a VHS machine that sits next to the PC. I've never had a problem with it.
I don't do high end graphics (unless I really have to).... and it seems to
be a great card. It's about the right price range for me as well.
Some of the reasons I like NewEgg.... they ship very quickly and I've never
had an incorrectly filled order... and I like to see reviews from 'real'
buyers.
