recorded tv, video card help

[kzz21]

I have a hp m7160n media center with 70 shows on it. I am going to use my pci ex slot. The tv has s- video and composite (probably get a new tv soon). I want to watch the tv and maybe use the card for games also. Someone suggested a ati Radeon X1600 pro. Thanks

The card that inputs video (TV Card) and the card that lets you actually see the image (video card) are generally two seperate components. You will have very little choice on what to upgrade to - the 300W PSU that the m7160n houses isn't going to cut it for most PCI-E graphics cards. I do not find any note on the form factor of the m7160n case, so chances are, upgrading the power supply unit as well will be difficult. Are you upgrading the graphics simply for gaming purposes? If not, spending money for a seperate PCI-Express card is not going benefit you much.
