My mother is moving to a retirement home and I am driving up to help
out re-connecting all tech stuff. She recently got a notice that her
Cable service will go all HD by end of November, so her analog PCI
TV card will stop working. She is 78 yrs old, likes to watch TV and
play solitaire at the same time on her 24in LCD monitor. Location:
Sudbury Ontario.<br>
<br>
What card would you suggest for her system? I can't remember her
mobo maker, but what I do know is that <br>
<br>
* there are 2 PCI slots NO PCIe SLOTS<br>
* RAM is 2 gig<br>
* hardrive is 250gigs<br>
* she has an NVidia video card -- can't remember the model, but
nothing fancy<br>
<br>
I was looking at this card:

<br>
It looks like PCI cards are definitely getting harder to find! Are
there external USB cards that would work? She will be hooking up
through a cable set-top box.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
