    I've been looking and looking and not sure what I'm looking at. The video cards that I have picked out are in the 256kmmb range (1x 128mb)and have high clock speeds, but what else should I look for

    I am putting together a video capture PC for analog to digital (VHS tapes to DVD), DVD back up and record some TV for the wife backup on to DVD. I have thought of using the P4C800e with a "slower" cpu and wait till the 3.0 and faster cpu's come down in price and upgrade then. TIA

    Proposed system:
    ASUS P4C800e-deluxe
    intel Pentium 4 2.4A Prescott 533MHz FSB 1MB
    DDR PC3400 1gb
    WD 120GB HD x2
    WinTV 150 or 250 ?
    Pioneer A107 DVD burner

    Thanks for the reply- but what are you looking at/for in the specs? the core clock or memory clock speed?? Or is it something else?
