AMV n00b question

[dowhatnow]

and jonnkakarotto how much are u looking to spend? what specs are you looking for?

top o' the line, fully loaded, etc.

I know what I want by way of processor, RAM, etc. the only problem I'm having right now is deciding on a vid card. I'll not be building this computer for at least another year or two, and by then today's tech will still be PARTIALLY good, so money shouldn't really be a concern of mine at this point. I was just trying to get suggestions for the best that people have worked with.

since we are on vid cards i need a new one, i am thinking for like 256mb something with tv out any suggestions? I havent been in the video card game for a long time so what good new and doesnt burn a whole in the wallet, oh is Nvidia still good?

256 right now is kinds of 1// not needed 2// *wallet = empty*

same suggestion i made before 9600/9800 xt aiw

LIES!!

i got a ati 9600 pro with 256. its a beast.

combine that with the newest omega drivers and ur set. if u want a capture card just get the tv wonder pro from ati its like $30.

but but but;; its from sapphire

x800 aiw;; when it comes out i know some idiots that would pay full retail the day it comes out

x800 xt aiw ok lets do the math

x800 300 bucks
xt 100 bucks
tvout/in/dvi/dual vga 50-100 bucks



retail on opening day +50 bucks
ati brand name (if applicable) +50 bucks

Myself, Preacher3380x, and a few others built the majority of our videos on Pentium 3 450MHz computers. Yes, it takes longer to render, so what?

The point is, you DON'T have to go all out if you don't want to. If ATI is too expensive, go NVidia. www.newegg.com has a wide selection of low priced hardware.
