Like to purchase a video card for my HP a6357c computer. Available expansion slots are as follows.

Expansion slots
Slot type Quantity
PCI Two (None available)
PCI Express x16 One (One available)
PCI Express x1 One (One available)

I am not a gamer, just want to copy vhs tapes into DVD and output to TV

Your suggestions as the best or optimal card for this purpose would be appreciated

TIA

Sounds like what you need is a tv tuner card or that thing from radio shack aka the source that is a vhs to pc thru usb device thought its not cheap.

Yes I am curious as well. Cause from the looks of it it should be able to input video rca on it at least to input video. My guess is the video out would be from the onboard video.

btw willy its a X2 5000+ on a ecs nvidia 6150a I think HP's site said. Realy azz backwards internal workings too from the pics I seen of it on new eggs site. :razz:
