Replacement for AIW 2006

[gjhuff]

My AIW 2006 is kaput. I had upgraded to Vista and had to put a
Hauppauge WINTv board in to get the tuner feature. Can someone
recommend a replacement card for the AGP slot so I can get a few more
years of use out of the motherboard? No PCIe slots on the old Intel
Board. Would a 512 mb Board be better than a 256mb? Many used boards
are on Ebay so I'd like some guidance. I watch alot of TV and have a
22inch Gateway with HD capabilities. I do not play games. Thanks in
advance.

You don't play games, therefore a new card (no matter the size of the
RAM) will do nothing for you. Any basic graphics, integrated or
otherwise, will work fine for you. Go to your local Staples, Bestbuy,
or Circuit City and pick up the cheapest AGP card you can find.
