>OK! Lots of information for me.

>I have a choice of three cards, but one is obviously not a good choice 
(too little memory), so really a choice of two cards.

>* GeForce 8400 GS, 512 MB, $36
  Will take up 2 PCI slots, so I wouldn't have room to put a Hauppage in 
  later

>* NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT, also 512 MB, more like $75
  Will only take up one PCI slot so would allow later addition of a 
  Hauppage

>I think I will go with the GeForce. If I end up wanting a Hauppage it 
will probably be time to get a dedicated box. Perhaps the GeForce will 
fit in that box, but if not, at $36 it wouldn't be a huge loss.

Is a little more cost, has a fan, and would leave the PCI slot free also.....   So many options!
