video card help
« on: November 10, 2003, 06:18:28 pm »
Plan to run my arcade on a 27'tv with s video input.  I am loooking for a decent video card for this.  I have heard the ATI are the best.  WIth that in mind, how much vidoe card do I need (AGP vs PCI ????)

Maybe someone with ATI knowledge can shed some opinions on either of these :

ATI RADEON 7500 64MB DDR CRT/ DVI/ TV-OUT

ATI RADEON 9000 64MB DDR CRT/ TV OUT

ATI RADEON 9200 128MB 8XAGP DDR W/TV&DVI RETAIL BOX

both of these appars to have an s-video out  but correctt me if I am wrong.

thanks for any help



dang wrong forum.  am i able to move it or does a mod need to.  sorry about that

As always, BUILT BY ATi, not "Powered By."

There is usually a major difference in quality.

Maybe performance wise, to a certain extent.  But probably not in video quality.
