I doubt it makes much difference, it seems almost any card with a bt8x8 will work. I bought my zoltrix TV/Max here in Victoria for $65 about a year ago. zoltrix anything is generally crap, but it works great with fxtv; no NT drivers kind of bugs me.

The #9 Ticket to Ride 4 and that 19" SGI LCD monitor sound like a nice combo, if you can foot the $3K. www.anandtech.com is a good source for reviews of the latest hot rod hardware; lots of video cards on there. Mostly gaming oriented, but it gives you a feel for what to expect.
