Hi gang!
One challenge I'm having is with an Aopen cube box (like Shuttle). It has an AGP slot and an open PCI slot.
Ideally I'd like to upgrade the video from onboard to something stronger. Plus I'd like to have TV-Out capabilities as well.
I'd also like to have surround sound output (5.1/7.1 capabilities). The box has only a left and right channel audio outpput (and I'm assuming there's no way to split 2 channels to add a center & rear speaker capability, right?). So an audio card seems like a necessity.
So right there is two cards. The box already has a TV tuner card in the PCI slot.
I'm willing to get whatever card combo is needed to optimize a great video output, surround sound and top notch video capture w/ hardware decoding.
How can I solve my single AGP/PCI slot problem with the cards available?
Thanks for ANY ideas!
