Summary: Cougar Video Edition - Mission Impossible 3
Review: Lets make this simple. If your looking fo value for money this is a pretty hot card. Beware though that this is a cut down TNT2 M64 card. Higher res. are a no go area for high spec games. Saying that Quake 3 is a breeze to play and Sega rally 2 works superbly albeit 800X800 mode. Video editing is limited but for simple things like creating decent video emails or for hooking up a camcorder for video conferencing via NETMeeting etc, then this card does more than the job in hand. Buy this card only if you are on a really tight budget. Otherwise there are plenty of cards out there that fair better in all departments. Leave video editing to proper dedicated cards, this one is ok for starters (and thats being nice).

Summary: Can't handle video capture
Review: This card is not suitable if you are looking for a video capture card. When capturing analogue video many frames are dropped and the final result is very low quality and hardly usable. Give this card a miss if you are after a video capture card.

Rating: 5 stars
