Best graphic/tuner cards for 865

hi everyone out there, just need a quick answer, really nothing too complicated
firstly i have a mega 865 and have installed windows media center 2005 on it (all is well )
but now i want to connect it to my plasma screen that is hd ready
i play games like doom 3 and also want to watch my downloaded movies via the mega
which graphic card would you kind people recommend as there are hundreds out there and a bit confused
also i want to record tv on to the mega from my sky box (digital )and from my aerial (analogue ) can you recomend a good tv tuner card
ps
if there is one that does both maybe that would be better
cheers everyone
ps ps
on a tangent, i know this might sound daft but what is the difference between a full sized g card and a express g card and which one would be best in the mega 865
nidge

This is the same question I posted a few weeks ago. Someone recommended me the radeon 9600xt so I bought the gfx card that appears on my signature. You need to add a little fan besides the card (and the radio module) to extract hot air, as the card completely blocks the airflow. The card works really fine!!
Express card? Do you mean PCI Express? That is a new type of expansion slot and, of course, it's not compatible with AGP cards so, if your mobo have a pci express slot (and not an agp one), you have to buy a pci express card. That isn't the case of our Megas (only have one AGP slot and one old PCI)
And the difference between full an half size is, of couse, how large is the card. The more little, the better airflow. Not sure but, in addition, I think that full size cards don't fit inside Megas.

Best Graphics and Tuner Card for 865 Pro with XP MCE (Maybe Vista?)

Hi all,
I'm looking at rebuilding my 865 Pro
I haven't upgraded the graphics so what do people recommend as the best AGP card for the 865 Pro
I have the MSI tuner but I am looking a ditching instant on for MCE would like to get a idea for digital tuning card (I'm in the UK). Would anybody recommend using a combined AGP/Tuner card like the ATI All in Wonder cards or using a USB Tuner?
I am thinking I will have to stick with XP because of driver support. I have dual boot to Vista at the moment but the wifi doesn't work.
Idea and Suggestions welcome
Danny

Thanks for the reply Stu.
I tried installing the XP wi-fi driver in Vista and I couldn't get it to work. I didn't try harder as the Mega 865 Pro is not supposed to be Vista compatible.
Is there a 3rd party driver I should try?
The reason I would like to upgrade the graphics is to have the option to play some games and I am beginning to find limitation with the on board graphics. I tried to check out second life on the mega the other week and it wouldn't set up because the graphics wasn't up to it.
I have tried installing a dedicated APG card before - the Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 6600 with heatpipe passive cooling.
It is a great card but I found every now and then the PC would crash with it running. It is a very tight fit with the TV tuner card and the airflow wasn't good.
So I am looking at using a small APG card or replacing the tuner. That’s why a combined card seemed to make sense and would free up the PCI slot.
As power is a problem for some graphics cards is upgrading the PSU an option?
Thanks
Danny

Which TV-tuner card for MEGA 180

Hello,
Just wondering which is the best tv-tuner card for the MEGA 180 which still enables the use of the original remote control.
I know the MS-8606-040 provides this but seems rather basic, the other model (MS-8606-010, TV@anywhere card) comes with its own remote control but can you use the one provided with the 180?
Any other makes which do the job?
Thanks

The reason for this is the Microsoft requirement that any recording does not use more than 50% of the CPU processing time, hence I think you will find that all have a hardware MPEG2 encoder built in (that's why they are mostly the PVR versions).
I believe that the following are the officially supported MCE 2005 cards:

TV tuner Card for Mac with Component input

Hey everyone, I was hoping someone could help me find a good TV Tuner card for my MacBook. I found a few potentials, however I've yet to find one with Component input that would allow me to play my XBox 360 at a resolution of 1050p. This is the resolution of my stand-alone monitor, and with S-Video the resolution would drop into the 400's. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean

Does this work with a Mac? Looks like from the screenshots this is only compatible with Vista
I'm also looking for something that also has a coaxle input along with the component input, so that I can watch TV!

TV Tuner card for MAC

Can anyone suggest the right tuner card for my iMac that will allow me to access my fios TV service on my computer?
Thanks!

Are you looking for a tuner that lets you watch local programming without a cable box? Or are you wanting to watch all the channels that you are subscribed to?
If you are just wanting local channels. Then Items like these are likely what you are looking for.
If you want all the channels the Verizon provides, you will need to connect a STB to your computer. You will need something like this to link a STB to your computer.

Tv tuner card for imac 400mhz powerpc g3

tv tuner card for imac 400mhz powerpc g3 - 256ram - I'm running os x 10.3.9. Does anyone know of a tv tuner card or device that I can use to watch tv on my imac?

Unfortunately most of these TV devices require USB2 bandwidth so are not suitable for the iMac G3.
The Firewire versions (EyeTV 310, 410 and 610 depending on input type) are the only options.
The EyeTV 250 is an analogue only Tuner that does work on USB1.1 but in a low quality mode only.

Best $100+ video card for CS5 Web edition

I am trying to fine tune my build choices and hanging up on the video card. Having a hard time figuring out the importance (and need/benefits of) Open GL, Directx11, hacks, and all that stuff . As for Premire, I only have the elements 8 version. I have never edited video really and it will be a very small part of what I do. Any video editing I do will be mostly web quality output in the majority of time. My primary computer use will be in PSCS5, Flash, Flash Catalyst, LR3, and Canon's DPP. Primarily for photo editing and some webpage building including the flash projects.
CPU is gonna be the i7-930 probably with a GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA mobo. Some reasonably priced cards I have seen mentioned/used (but I honestly do not know the pros or cons of them) are:
XFX Core edition GS250XZSL4 GeForece GTS 250 1gb and the GIGABYTE GV R570C - 1GI HD Radeon 5750 - both about $140.
Thought on these cards for my intended use? Anything less expensive that will perform the tasks I will be asking of it? ANy really good reason why I should consider a more expensive card like the Radeon HD 5770 Turbo 1 GB at $180?
Thanks for your thoughts.

It uses less power, runs cooler and slightly quieter and the driver updates are more regular and better. But take a look here and compare them± http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-hd-5770,review-31704.html

TV Tuner Card for MEGA PC

Hi All!
Recently I've added a TV tuner Card (MS-8606) to my MEGA PC 651. This card is not TV@nywhere, but very similar one. It is the "optional TV tuner card" MSI talks about in the description of MEGA PCs. The card does not have FM tuner, as MEGA PC already have one on the motherboard.
I've installed the card and the standard MSI software (drivers, MSIPVS, Cinema , WinSchedule and other stuff) from the supplied CD with minimum difficulties. (The drivers on CD are version 2.79.1.64) The good things is that the software finds channels, there is picture, even the remote works
However, there is an annoying problem -- sound disappears each 2-15 seconds. That is sound works for, say, 20 seconds, then stops for 2 seconds, then works again for 5 seconds, then stops and so on. Did anybody encounter such a problem?

Probably not anymore
It was just a TV@nywhere Master, but without the FM radio tuner.

Best Video Output Card for AE

So I've finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a plasma screen and video card so that clients can have a large screen on which to monitor the effects. I'm planning to mount it over the workstation and feed it an output from...and this is where my understanding breaks down. Should I just send it the comp window? Will I have to render in order to have any output? Should I send it the entirety of one of my monitors?
And most importantly, what kind of card plays nicely with AE and will feed the TV the appropriate output? I'm assuming these should be connected through HDMI?
My current equipment is a Mac Pro and 2 Apple Cinema Displays. Thanks in advance for your help! Also, I'm sure many of you out there have created similar setups for client viewing. Let me know about your experience!
Cheers,
Ari

Best practice tunning parameters for tunning ADF apps?

Hi all,
I am tuning our 11g ADF app for around 3 billions (can be up to 10 billions records) and the concurrent connections up to 100. The app is running on a 16 core Intel chip and 8GB of RAM. The Weblogic used Rockit JDK. Any one have this experience please share and help me! I am considering what is the top ten crucial parameters for this tuning. Up to now I just have tunned some parameters from OS layer to app layers:
- indexing for queries
- open cursors, processes and pga memory
- share pool for app module and jdbc pooling.
- heap size of JVM memory only max value 1024 because of 32 bit Windows (Perhaps I must upgrade to 64 bit OSs to use more memory)
The app was tested with Jmeter with only 10 concurrent connection and the test case is logging in and query and logging out. It ran very slow. I found out that the weblogic server did not use CPUs equally (only 1-2 CPus were used)
Thank you and best regards.
Elton Son.

Redeem i tunes card for my daughter

My daughter has an itunes gift card which she goty for her birthday. She also recieved an Ipod shuffle. She is only 8 years old. I havwe synced the Ipod with my own apple ID and Itunes. If and when she wants to purchase something using her gift card, will all of the credit automatically transfer to my own I tunes account? If so am I able to seperate any cedit associated with her card from my own purchases.

Would that involve creating a new user account,
That would be done by creating a new iTunes account with the gift card.
