Price Range is around $200-250.\
Hmmn, I started this with the idea of upgrading my video card so
 that I could play Aliens Vs Predator 2 better. Then I thought if
I was going to upgrade I should get a capture card.
	Now maybe I should upgrade the MB & CPU, But I do that I will
 have to put off the capture card.
	On a seperate note, I do not have Firewire or any video equipment
 that uses it. I do have USB, but consider it too slow for video. If
anybody
 has experience with video editing using USB, how well does it work?
