Ohhh... thats two for the ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR PCI Video Card
It's looking like the big winner here (pitty it doesnt have a remote)
Also ive seen a few user reviews from Amazon
and it seems to get the thumbs up, although they mention possible problems
occuring with onboard gfx and winXP, which i have.
Doesnt look a big problem tho.

onboard graphics is a problem anytime you're trying to use an upgrade graphics card. if you're able to access the motherboard's BIOS and disable the onboard graphics or select the PCI card as the main graphics chip, that's the ideal situation.
if you can't access that option in the BIOS, you may be able to get it to work by simply installing the card and disabling the onboard graphics in Windows' device manager. the drawback is that the PCI card may not be able to display anything until Windows finishes booting up and sorting the drivers and settings to figure out which graphics chip is going to be used.
i would also recommend using an ATI Radeon card. people can debate the merits of Nvidia vs ATI cards for video game purposes (i.e. which one is faster with 3D games), but ATI cards win hands-down in 2D desktop and TV picture quality. Nvidia cards are very hit-or-miss as far as picture quality goes, depending on which company assembled the cards.

Al though it isn't on your list the ati all in wonder 128 pro comes in pci. I would recomend that over the other cards because the all in wonders are designed for video out and video in.

3RA1N1AC, yeah i read about this and apparently if you do it correctly you can get it to work fine.
The info i seen was to disable the on onboard gfx via the device manager, like you mention.It went on to say everything works fine
if you do this
Hmm missed this one.
I'll check it out, i really dont want to get a cr@p one.
