Hi,
Sorry for multi posting.
I intent to buy a new AGP VGA card and think that combining it with Analog
Video capure, Analog Video out is better "bang for the buck" then buying
separate cards.

Mainboard Abit KT7A-Raid with Duron 800,512MB Ram.
VGA to be used for gaming.
Capture today from analog camera (future digital camera)
Video out today to VCD and VCR, future to VCD,VCR and DVD +RW.
Is it chaeper to buy (later on) a seperate IEEE 1394?
Any advice is welcome.

Well, you can buy a VGA card with video-in (and TV OUT, if you want to
record back on tape), than buying two separate cards. In some cases the
prices may be similar, but in others you save a small amount. If you are
interested about games, I would recommned a model with nVidia's Geforce 2MX
at least. The next better is GeForce 2 GTS, GeForce 2 Pro, GeForce 2 Ultra
and finally GeForce 3. IT depends how much you can afford. And of course,
the more graphics RAM the better, especially for video editing
applications... A DV card is about 70 British pounds (I don't know the
equivalent for your currency).
