PCI card suggestions?

**dgilman** · 06-07-2005, 09:51 PM

i think I'm going to ditchmy PCI radio/tv tuner.

Any suggestions for what to put in its place? I've already got wi-fi and bluetooth setup.

Should I go with a PCI video card to drive my Xenarc rather than the built in VGA?

Maybe a contact closure board to use switches and relays to control other fun stuff in the car? I have been thinking about installing motors in the sideview mirrors so I can pull them in with a flick of the switch.

Thoughts?

PS - Info about the rig coming as soon as I get the monitor mounted correctly...

what contact closure board do you have in mind..i never heard of them before, they sound interesting.

I wouldnt go for a pci video card unless you wanted to run at 800x480 (however certain via boards are able to run them also).

the onboard video should be fine for what we use these things for. how about a high end audio card or a wifi card?

Do you have a PCI sound card? If you have any audio issues using onboard sound, I'd definitely think of buying a good quality PCI sound card - cleared up a ton of audio related issues for me.
