Since I want to be able to use the comp while i am running mythtv... i think 
i'll need to just get another cheap vid card for my pci slot since agp is 
already in use.. that card will serve as my vga out only when using mythtv
Luckily, I have a dual proc system (2xAMD1600+)w/ a decent amount of 
memory(768M) so doing multiple things at once on the pc is not a big deal..
