View Full Version : [SOLVED] All in one or seperate components?
I have little knowlege when it comes to video cards other than the basics, I would like to play my composite out DVD (also have s-video option) on my computer monitor.
I am thinking about selling my TV so I would like a TV tuner as well, I dont play games so I don't need a super video card.
I have a 32Meg TNT2 now.
When I do buy a new TV (more than likely will have composite inputs) it would be nice to be able to play divx movies on the TV.
As I said earlier I dont really know my video product so any suggestion would be appriciate, could you include both Manufacturer and specific models please as it will make it easier to find in Australia.
Thanks..

An Ati Rage Fury Pro sounds like a good choice (but if you want to play any neer games it wouldnt be a good choice), you can get them for around 60$US, a Radeon All-In-Wonder comes with a TV tuner option and you can play games with it so that an even better choice...

The all in one Radeon is close to $700AUS so its not a real viable option, the only game I play is the original 2d Diablo so I don't need a card for gaming as the one I have works fine, thanks for the input.

not the 8500...the regular all in Wonder Radeon is a 32 mb card, and should be found for 100$ US
Zuck Gou :)

I checked price watch I came across 2 different types of AIO wonders a 128 Pro and a DDR model one was like $160 for the DDR and $113 for the 128 model, which would you recommend for my application?

the DDR is better and i say several of them at Pricewatch for 115$....also known as Radeon All-In-Wonder...look for it at around that price, there is one or two squished between the Rage128s....the only major difference is gaming performance between the two......but for the 10$ more its quite worth it imho....just in case you decide you wanna get something like RTCW....
ok found a place that does international order for $129 + freight
the cheapest in Australia is $479 even with freight and double money still should be cheaper, thanks for your help guys.
