Help me Pick out a Video Card

[datageek]

I've been looking and looking and not sure what I'm looking at. The video cards that I have picked out are in the 256kmmb range (1x 128mb)and have high clock speeds, but what else should I look for

I am putting together a video capture PC for analog to digital (VHS tapes to DVD), DVD back up and record some TV for the wife backup on to DVD. I have thought of using the P4C800e with a "slower" cpu and wait till the 3.0 and faster cpu's come down in price and upgrade then. TIA

Proposed system:
ASUS P4C800e-deluxe
intel Pentium 4 2.4A Prescott 533MHz FSB 1MB
DDR PC3400 1gb
WD 120GB HD x2
WinTV 150 or 250
Pioneer A107 DVD burner

Id go for the 9600XT meself... Although for a few bucks more you could probably get a 9800 pro...

But out of the ones you've selected - the 9600XT is the one you want.

Don't put a 533fsb cpu in that board, you're holding it back, go for 800fsb.

My only comment on the card is go for the X series if you are dead set on getting a radeon, or alternatively go for a nvidia 6xxx series.

The 9xxx are old hat now.

Thanks guy's for the input. I'll mention it to the wife on the 800fsb chip - see if I can cough up the little extra $$ for it.

The reason for the 9600 this is for video capture/conversion but maybe a little tv watching and not a gaming PC- don't have the time too many other expensive hobby's right now. What should I be looking for in terms of a video card besides the chipset? Core memory? Memory clock?

TIA

OK guys, I wont post a new threat with the same Title
Can someone please help me to choose between Albatron nVidia 6600/256MB and 6600Ultra/128MB, they have one and same price in my favourite shop?
I am not very proficient in this stuff , I know that the Ultra has faster core clock, but which is more important in this case - the clock or the memory?

Thanks.

I would have to go with the Albatron nVidia 6600/256MB. My friend has one and it is awesome.
