[mythtv-users] Suggestions on a Video Card Please.

[jedi at mishnet.org]

Get what you need now.

Don't necessarily worry about what you will need next year.
This can dramatically decrease the price you will need to
pay for the current card. By the time you need a replacement
card, a suitable replacement may be really cheap.

The whole thing may yield a situation where you bought 2
cards cheaper than the 1.

Just something to consider.

That's the beauty of expansion slots.

A different mobo may also be the answer.
