AIW 128 vs 9000 Pro

[Larry B]

I have a Win98Se, 1GHz P-III computer.

I will be recording video output from my PVR to DVDr. I now have a 2
year old AIW 128 (Rage) which (I believe) has 32mb of SDRAM.

Would upgrading to the AIW 9000Pro offer any real world anvantages
towards this goal??

Thanks, Larry

If u have the 32 meg AIW R128 then you have the 2nd best Theatre chip
for capturing video. The cheapest solution with the lastest Theatre chip
is the pci AIW VE. If you're looking to upgrade that would be it, unless
you're a heavy-duty gamer then a AIW 9xxx.

Recording to a 2nd hd would help too.

Or just grab the movie from Bittorrent.

Hi Kev, would the PCI AIW VE be significantly better?

I hate to sound out of the loop, but what is Bittorent, and why would it
simplify my life?

Hi Kev, there is also the AIW 7500 which is priced the same as the AIW VE.
Is it something that I should also consider?

Thanks, Larry

Better capture chip than the AIW R128

Bittorrent is an web version of Kazaa/napster/grokster etc.

Go to www.suprnova.org to see what is available.

Since the AIW VE uses the 7500chip it must be the same thing.
