Are there any capture/output boards currently available that take advantage of the PCI bus in Pentium machines? Is this something that is worth waiting for? I have a Pentium and am looking to purchase a "low-end" digital editing solution along the lines of the miroVideo board but am wondering whether I should be trying to take direct advantage of teh PCi bus through a specific board. Thanks

David, To my knowledge (limited to reading reviews), I've only found one card by Matrox on the lower end to be PCI. Most others are ISA. The Matrox card did not get very good marks though. Both miro and Fast gave me vague answers about future PCI products. However, with the increase of the popularity of the PCI bus, I believe in one year we will be seeing more PCI boards. Dacia
