Graphics/ tv tuner/ firewire card

    I was thinking of buying a TV tuner for my pc. I will also need a firewire input at some stage, and I was thinking lately I may be better off getting a card with firewire input, tv tuner and a graphics card built in.
    Can anyone recommend a particular card, or have you any thoughts on it?
    Is there anything I should look out for when buying a pci card, or will they work in any machine?
    Cheers!

    Firewire input on a graphics card I cant recall ever seeing so your probably going to have to purchase a PCI firewire card there not expensive anyway.

    As for graphics cards and TV tuners the only real game in town is ATI's All In Wonder series of which there are a few versions around depending on how much graphics power you want though make sure you get the right version for your motherboard AGP or PCI-E (PCI Express not to be confused with the older PCI interface)

    See AIW X800VE AGP or the latest X1900 PCI-E as examples.

    THose two certainly look good. I'll look further into it. I hadn't come across one with a firewire either myself. I know they are cheap but I don't want to use up too many pci inputs if I can. I think there might only be 2 on the motherboard. I'll take a look later. Cheers for the help.
