[QUOTE="Callifo, post: 60172, member: 10544"] Well the TV card will depend on your intent, but seperate tv and video cards are always better (the all-in-one cards seem to always have problem for some reason). From what Ive read a 6150 card seems to work well with MP, the only difference between that and a 6200 is that the 6200 can come with component out (which if you dont have DVI on your TV, is best). It all depends on what you want to do in the future. I put this machine together over a year and a half ago and it still great. For HDTV it wouldnt be fast enough but it will be a long time before we get an expensive TV set capable of 1080p. When that times comes Ill need to do a complete upgrade pretty much as its a Socket 462/A board and so cant be improved. In terms of TV card since you only have analogue, you might be better off looking at a Hauppauge PVR-500MCE. That can record 2 channels at the same time (eg from you Sky STB and another analogue channel) and also has FM radio. [/QUOTE]
