I was looking at the 8800GT, but didn't see any capture capability. Does
the higher end video card make a difference for JAVA applet games? The
video card is mainly for my mom to play her games. There's a few that
hog computer resources trying to do too much eye candy. Which means you
miss hands and stuff when it's too busy processing graphics to get the
next set of rounds over the internet connection.

I'm mainly interested in a capture card myself. I was hoping to get a
single $200-ish unit, not 2x $200 unitS. Do the capture cards come with
their own audio capture? Are they linux compatible?

Oh.. I was suggesting an 8800/8600 GT because they are good cards for
Linux. You really need a separate frame capture card (or USB soln as
I mentioned).

The WinTV PVR USB2 (NTSC and PAL) plugs right into openSUSE (for example)
or anything with recent drivers. I'm writing my own PVR system for it.
Can be easily controlled via scripts.
