As a "newbie" to this group, I would like to install an ATI AIW card and use
it as a Personal Video Recorder in my newly built PC. I have the choice between
the following ATI cards ......

AIW 9600 Pro Video card 4x AGP 64 MB DDR
Radeon AIW 9600 Video card 8x AGP 128 MB DDR
Radeon AIW 9600 XT Video card 8x AGP 128 MB DDR
or
AIW 9800 Pro Video card 8x AGP 128 MB DDR

Which one would be your "favorite" choice for a PVR setup and why ???

Thanks for your advice, in advance.
Andrew

The 9600s have dual VGA and no DVI, the 9800AIW has DVI-I which can also be
connected to a VGA display. Other than that, for PVR purposes, there's no
practical difference between them.

" AIW 9600 Pro Video card 4x AGP 64 MB DDR "


I thought all of the 9600 series had 128MB or 256MB.
