I am with you here. My first computer was 486 dx 66 with 1gb drive. wowoi could never fill that. famous last words.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Bear in mind that my response was an opinion, not a statement of<br>fact. There are those who use 350s very successfully, but IMHO there<br>are more reasons to use a standalone video card, and the 5200 is<br>about the best way to go, again check past threads as this has been
<br>debated endlessly.<br></blockquote></div><br>please dont forget that you could go for one of the digital TV cards that are available. I guess thats if you have or can get digital tv.<br><br><br>CH<br><br>
