Hello all.
In building my new HTPC I'm using a XFX nvidia GeForce 8600gt. In my old rig I have an ATI all-in-wonder x600 PRO. I was wondering can I use both in my new HTPC at the same time, the purpose being to utilize only the a/v inputs, outputs, and cable tuner in the ATI card. The 8600 would be the only one used to actually output a picture.
I'm imagining this could cause issues abound but it would be nice not to have to purchase new i/o cards. On that note, if i do have to go the route of a new i/o card, does anyone know of a card which has several a/v inputs on it? I would like to be be able to input other external audio and a/v devices to take advantage of the scaling capabilities and audio processing.
Thanks, Craig
