Color me foolish for asking but....

Why WOULD you want to be able to able to be on the forum and not have your name show up?

If you want to lurk, you can certainly do that without signing in. However, if you are signed in why wouldn't you want anyone to know?

Just curious...

I like the ATI AIW products because it makes life simplier. Unless you guys have the new technology of PCI Express then your will need an AGP card. I have the ATI AIW X600 Pro. ATI's AIW card will turn your computer into a multimedia PC just about. If you don't need that then you can go with a regular TV Tuner card or a digital TV card. Here are the TV Tuner Cards. I don't think ATI makes one for digital cable yet, or one that is capable of recieving a large amount of channels. Look the cards over and tell me what you would like to buy, and I might be able to get one for a bit less.

From personal experience with ATI i would just use their stuff for target pratice. I would recommend Nvidia NVTV cards. Nvidia is the leader in video cards and i would trust their stuff over an other company.

Hey, welcome aboard MTX20HZ. I looked @ the Nvidia cards before I got my ATI AIW and they weren't out on the market to really get a good price and look at them. Could you post up a few links for Nvidia versions of the All-In-Wonder cards?

Hello hello.

here is the Nvidia site for their NVTV cards. http://nvidia.com/page/nvtv.html

I like the 512MB SLI cards that they have :) MMM dual = 1024MB of video, not too much if you ask me :) .
