PCI (I know i know) video cards? for warcraft 3

[CompSux]

As you can see i am very mad with dell. Plus it was halfway my fault. I bout an integrated intel 8010 i think video card and i dont have a agp slot. I will put my comp specs on bottom and i am looking at a few new pci video cards i have a few picked out. Can all of you tell me a good one? 1) PNY Verto Geforce2 MX400 2)PNY Verto Geforce 4 MX420 3) ATI Radeon 7000

Please tell me the best

P3 500megs
512 Ram
Intel 32mb 8010 integraded video
20 gb hard drive
4x CD burn
56x Cd:mad:

Out of those 3 choices go with the Radeon. It uses 64megs of ddr ram while the Geforce cards use SDRAM. You'll see better performance on a ddr card then a sdram card. The memory is running twice as fast.

HTH :)

Most everyone around here advises to stay away from the MX's, so out of the three listed probably the ATI will work best. A GF3TI is what I would go with!

ktkendall remember i have a pci slot if you know of a place were u can find a gf3 ti plz do tell

[Alaron]

They dont make the Geforce 3s in PCI form. Go with that Radeon you listed. It will be a fine card.

Heres a link to it, looks like a god price. The second one on the list.

Sorry, I didn't do my homework on that one.

[CompSux]

ah i am so sorry to tell everyone but now i dont think the radeon will work because i need tv-out also how much s-video cable can u get i only see 12 feet i need about 20 feet

[CompSux]

can you daizy chain s-video cable it looks like you can

[Alaron]

You could get the Geforce 4 that you mentioned. It will perform excellently. It has S-Video out. Heres a link: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=list&catalog=289&DEPA=1 Its the seventh one down.

Im not sure about linking the cables though.

HTH :)

Leviton makes a connector for Cat 5 wire to make your own home video system it allows you to run cat5 to outlets then use s-video patch cables to the componets.

Part # 40734-sv
you can run video all over the house if you want , they also have the amplifies for it too.

Heh hamesrpm i thank you for the help but could you please give me some more information and a link please

[CompSux]

i meant jamesrpm soorry

[Alaron]

I think this is more of what your looking for CompSux. This site sells both connectors to extend the reach of your SVideo cables and longer Svideo cables.

20 foot Svideo cable: http://www.s-video.com/mogami20.html

Yeah, do what Alaron suggested. I have a 20 footer coupled with a 12 footer for 32 total feet. Works just fine to send my S-Video signal from my PC to my TV in the other room.
