Video Card Question
Recently purchased an HP Athlon 64 3700+, 1GB ram, 200 GB HD with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 on board graphics card. I will be editing with Premiere Pro, After Effects 6…possibly Avid Express Pro and Zaxwerks Invigorator ($ depending).
The question…I’ve grown so used to using the dual monitor setup at work that I want to do this at home as well. I want something that will complement my system but not cost an arm and a leg. At the minimun, I know that I need another video card to allow an for dual input and it must be PCI Express.
I’m overwhelmed by the choices out there. Brand, memory, inputs? Will certain card work better with Athlon? with Premiere? Should I buy a cheap dual input card or a pretty good single input card?
Lastly, if I want to hook up a tv to view my timelines is it as simple as plugging it into the s-video output of the card?
A lot of questions, I know.
thanks in advance,
Chris

It is that simple if you get the Matrox Parhelia APVe. It gives you WYSIWYG from Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro. And even has HDV capabilities. Two monitors plus a television. If you have PCI Express, it is the best card around for editing.
