Bernie Doehner: |I just picked up a Stealth 3D 2000 clone video card that will hopefuly |work with WinCast/TV, and I am about to order my WinCast from iQVC. I see most of your other questions were answered by folks on the list. When I was video card shopping, this was one of the many I surfed. If memory serves, the Stealth 3D 2000 is a S3 Virge-based DRAM card. Ken Stox and I are both running STB Velocity 3Ds (also S3 Virge chipset) with the Wincast with no problems. The XFree86 3.2A S3V server works fine in 8 and 16bpp. These are VRAM cards though, so though the chipset is the same, the RAM speed and single-/dual-portedness of the video memory is different between these cards. However, having said that, I've had the Wincast blasting to my 2Meg EDO-DRAM Hercules Stingray 64 with no problem, so there's a good change the 3D 2000 will work fine. |Last question.. Coming out of the wincast TV I gather is line level audio. |How weak is it?? I won't be getting my GUS MAX for another month. Is it Standard line (not speaker) impedence, so you'll want to use an amp or the line in jack of your soundcard. Randall
