Hi, I have aquired a supermicro X7DVA-8 with dual xeon 2ghz processors with 4gb of memory. I am looking to add a sound card, better video card and a video capture card.
Based on the below slots in order prefered
1. decent sound card
2. video card
3. video capture card
In this order of preference, can someone recommend inexpensive hardware, not looking to be a gamer, but would like to watch a movie, a game once in a blue moon and 3rd stream some old vhs to digitize.
PCI-Express
1 (x8) PCI-e slot
1 (x4) PCI-e (using x8) slot
PCI-X
2x 64-bit 100MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slots
PCI 1x 32-bit 33MHz PCI (3.3V) slot
Here is my cpu specs on the two processors:
General
Brand Intel
Series Xeon
Model BX805565130A CPU Socket Type
CPU Socket Type LGA 771 Tech Spec
