"The motherboard has five PCI slots, three of which are free. However, it's advisable to fill only two of these, as the third, which sits by the AGP slot, is best left free to help cool the powerful graphics card. A V.90 modem card and the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card occupy two of the PCI slots. There are four USB ports, while the integrated 3Com 3C920 chip takes care of any networking demands. "
The PC seemed optimized for Windows 98 and came with a Pentium 4.
Win XP SP2 with a Full 2 GB would be marginal.. certainly don't try to do anything other than capture with it.
The AGP slot 1.5 will accept 2x/4x so a 4x/8x would be overkill.
Overall its a pretty light weight system by today's standards.
The ATI AIW VE would fit one of the 32 bit PCI slots
Any of the low end 9000, 9200 would be fine.. 9600 would work.. if you can get one grab it.. but this motherboard won't get you every bit of performance from a 9600 and might lead you to think the 9600 was the problem.. its the motherboard and the system.. its just made for the 20th not 21st century.
Only use it for Uncompressed capture to a second dedicated drive, perhaps using
VirtualDub and
Huffyuv.
There just isn't enough power for Compressed capture. Do that later on a more modern system.
