[AG-TECH] Re: Audio/Video capture

Surprisingly, the NVIDIA Quadro4 NVS 400 (4 head) is a PCI card.  The NVIDIA Quadro4 NVS 200 (2 head) is an AGP card.

	The Parhelia looks like a great card .. I've got one on order, we'll see
	how it works. From what I see, it shoudl have great 2d performance and will
	support the three heads we want at AGP rates ...
	
	Someone else mentioned an nVidia 4-head card - any news on how that works?
	Is it really AGP to the graphics engines, or is it like the one I tried
	that is AGP to a PCI/PCI bridge and then just PCI graphics adapters.
