Building a new system, ASUS PC4800-E Deluxe board,
2.8 P4, 1g RAM, a couple of big SATA drives.
Main thing I want is for downloading & recording home
video to DVD, maybe a TV tuner later, and maybe
dual monitors at some point.
The board has 8X video.
I don't game at all.
I've tried to read up on these things, but all I get is
confused on the many choices.
While I'm at it, what's a decent sound card for
just a decent set of speakers, nothing exotic or
hi powered.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Trying to stay at a reasonable
budget level.
(edit) Just saw an Asus Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb DDR
AGP 8X, for DVI, Dual VGA, VIVO for a reasonable price.
Any good for what I want?
