but if you can slum it with the 8500DV you'll save
Good gawd, a year ago I was King of the Hill with the 8500DV, now I'm slummin' it?

Just a referance to whether or not one can justify spending the big buck required for the latest video cards.
And also how quickly they go out of date!
ie the money is better spent on something like 0.65TB of storage.
I've been slumming it for the past 2 and a half years with an all-in-wonder 128pro and probably got more use out of the AIW part then the 128pro part, so it will be some time before I change it.

thinfourth2, if you do get the an AIW make sure it does support PAL and not NTSC, which might prove difficult in which case a PCI based TV tuner might be a better idea.
