Video Cards
One of the most important investments in your computer is the video card. The video card is what most people notice because it is what you see. Video Cards come with onboard memory, and the more memory that is included on the card, the better and faster the card can run. We would recommend that you have atleast 128 MB of onboard memory on the video card. A good rule of thumb is to try to stay close to the $200.00 mark or higher when purchasing a video card.
There are several different types of video cards. Some video cards include a TV Tuner on the card so that you can watch television or cable on your computer. Some video cards include video capture capabilities for video editing. What you need will depend on what you will plan on doing with the card.
We recommend the ATI 9800 All-In-Wonder Pro. This card does it all. It has a TV Tuner built into it, it has video capturing capabilities for video editing, and includes 128 MB of onboard system memory.
