i was bought the ATI all-inwonder 9600, and from the picture on the box, it doesnt seem like theres a port for the monitor. i wanted an all-in-wonder so i could record my shows, games etc should i just return this for a better videocard (it cant cost much more though)?
You want an all in wonder? Getthe AIW 9600XT... how much was that btw? If your limit is $200, then get a 9800 pro or wait a bit more until more companies put the 6600gt on AGP
there should be a port for the monitor and if you want to record from your tv/vcr you need s-video input on the card.
Atleast with the ATI ALL In Wonder 8500 there is a special type of cord coming out of the card into a box where you connect the S-Video and RCA Plugs
