Guest Juda Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 I am under the process of building a new computer (one of my many projects this summer) and I would like to hear suggestions on Video Cards and TV Tuners. On the Video Card front I am leaning to the nVidia cards mainly because of the motherboard I am planning on using has a nforce2 chipset and AGPgart currently does not work in linux therefor currently ATI is out of the question. I would like to hear peoples experience with the GeForce FX cards or GeForce4 Ti and what cards would you seggest. For TV Tuner I would know what is the best one that one can get working in linux. Only real requirement is that the audio is in stero. Thank you for you seggestions Juda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtweidmann Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 I have a hauppauge WinTV theatre, and it works perfectly under Linux. Mnadrake installer picked it up, and set it up fine with me having to do anything. I've never worked out how to use video catpure, but nor have I really tried.
