Need help!!!!!!!!

Have TV card, record video, but sound does not stay even with video, lags.

I have onboard sound (on the motherboard) and would like to upgrade to a video card like NVida GForce, etc.

Also TV card hangs at times and the recording started is corrupted.

Will upgrading to 512 sdram help, which is all my board can take, a Compaq Presario 5008, and upgrading to a "real" video card solve same.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

In general, most video cards that I've seen like to have a "Real" Intel CPU over the Celerons, but for you, the RAM is not the answer. Get a "Real" Video Card!
An ATI All in Wonder should make you smile!

Since you need a PCI video card, try FX5200 128MB DDR.

Thanks, will it matter that I have Sdram on my computer instead of DDR, even though the FX5200 is using DDR?

Thanks!!!
