i was wondering if this video card is compatible with my computer or if i would need additional cooling or what not. Also any suggestions on a different video card which would be compatible could help. I play alot of games and need the card to be a tv tuner.
My processer is a pentium 4 2.8ghz with 1 gb ram Thanks! if u need additional info about my pc to help me i will gladly post it. Thanks!

Hi,

If you can give us some info about your motherboard i.e Manufacturer/Type of graphics slot available (AGP or PCI-Express or even normal PCI;) ) then it would help people give you a more informed answer.... that said the X800XT is a very nice card if still a little pricy.

Even if that card will fit in your PC, it's major overkill for your CPU. I'd be looking at a 9800 Pro/XT if you're dead set on ATI, or an NVidia 6600GT.
