Help with PCI video Card??

[ApexGecko]

Hey Everyone,

Well yesterday I finally went from 2000-2005. I purchased a new computer, and I really dont want to take it back for some simple slot. One of the two main things I wanted was 5.1 sound (which is already on-board), which is good.

The second thing I wanted was a good video card. I ONLY have PCI slots. I know, it might sound like a disaster computer. Computer manufaturers have taken a turn to On-Board memory I guess. There is no APG slot so I'm limited on video cards, but I know there are good PCI cards out there, I've been looking.

My question to you guys is, Are there any PCI cards, at least 128MB that also have TV Tuner built in? I've looked but haven't found anything so far.

ANy help would be great!

Thanks!

Hi Luis, will you be gaming with this system?

BTW, welcome to the Designtechnica forums! :)

yea, I will use it for a little gaming. Not much but enough to require a video card.

Thanks!

This is going to be tough. Here is what I found: http://designtechnica.shopping.com/xPP-Graphics_Cards--interface_pci

I was looking for an ATI All-In-Wonder card with a PCI interface, but was not able to find one here. That would have given you an integrated TV Tuner card. Otherwise, you might have to buy a video card without the tuner and then a seperate tuner card. But then that would fill up your only two PCI slots.

yea, I've searched & searched. I dont think they make theym that way. But its ok, I dont plan to do much further upgrade than that. Thanks! I really appreciate the help!
