Question about new computer build

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello,
I am in the process of building a new computer and many of the recent discussions have helped a great deal. I am stuck on what to get for a tv tuner card. I am building a vista based system w/ 4 gig of ram. I have been searching newegg for a tuner card yet it seems that there are many compatibility issues with vista. Some that say they will work with vista "supposedly" wont work with more than 2 gigs of ram. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

TV tuners aren't huge in the world of plug in PCI cards...

I think your best bet would be to read Newegg customer reviews and look for customers that are running Vista. Otherwise, Newegg has awesome an awesome return policy. Just order it and cross your fingers.

I was wondering if I might have to run the buy and try route, on the other hand though I am not set on it being a card. External would be fine as long as it worked well.
