Video Card + Tuner Advice

[chasetb20]

I'm building an AMD based computer right now, going to throw a X24200 in it, and am looking to have the ability to watch tv as well as pay pretty high intensity 3D games, BF2, CS:S, and such on full settings as well as new games as they come out. I want to spend about 220 or so on the combination of the two, tuner and card (PCI-E), and my question is this: is it worth it to spend the extra 20 bucks to get the newest ATI All-In-Wonder X1900, or should I go with a seperate card and tuner because the tuner chip in the all-in-wonders are pretty low quality? I had been looking at a 7600GT before, but i think I want a higher quality card then that, and the ATI Wonder Elite tuner as the tuner I would get if they were seperate. so... any thoughts?

I really cant say anything about the x1900 AIW's. But i can speak about my experience with my AIW 9800pro, it seriously was the best of both worlds, single slot, quiet, hefty performance, even today. I had some pet peeves with the ATI media center, but overall im pretty happy about the general package.

Tho one complaint I have is the video input lag. =( cant play games with it.

i wonder if they've improved the imput video lag at all... that was a bit important to me
