Hi philipah,

I'd go with the ATI All-In-Wonder 128 video card instead of the "Pro". The AIW 128 is a significant improvement over the older Pro model. The 3D acceleration of the card will not interest you since you said you are not a gamer but if you are planning on doing any video editing on your PC, the AIW 128 delivers best compression results with a Pentium III (see last table at the bottom of the following page).

Also, if you are a movie buff, you'd enjoy a DVD drive. The ATI AIW 128 will give you good DVD performance, specially in a PIII system. So you won't need to buy any additional hardware cards for DVD playback. DVD playback on a PC gives you impressive HDTV-like image quality. It's lots of fun! The combination will give you TV reception, digital VCR and DVD playback on your PC.

Enjoy the upgrade! Sounds like you are putting together a very nice system.

Shahen.
