Around here we seem to like Hauppauge's Bt848 cards they have proven to be reliable and reasonable priced. fxtv has two modes of operations : 1. capturing frames to a buffer then using xputimage to display the frame to a window no scaling is done. 2. PCI to PCI data transfer. fxtv aims the Bt848 to a given area in the display frame buffer to where to blast the video stream to -- there is no faster way of displaying video from a PCI device . 3. In PCI to PCI mode the Bt848 does the scaling I own a Matrox Millenium and you shouldn't have any problems with watching 640x480 32bits at 30fps irrespective of the resolution that you are running --- I guess the real limit is the amount of memory that you may have on your adapter however in your case thats not a problem.
