And that game sock the juice from your video card in a second so with a x800 should be ok... |

Analog TV will give you less than DVD resolution no matter how good your hardware is, HD goes way beyond DVD resolution. There are no all-in-one boards that can receive HD--for that you need a separate tuner. Even with analog video, from ATI you're going to get better results with the TV Wonder Elite than with an AIW--the AIWs still use the Rage Theater 200 chip while the TV Wonder Elite uses the newer Rage Theater 550. All of those are expensive options though. When you say you will be doing "some graphics", what _kind_ of graphics? Are you going to be putting together 3d animations, Photoshop, or what? For most graphics creation purposes you don't need a super high performance board and if you're using one of the few apps that does require one there will usually be a short list of tested boards and anything not on that list is likely to cause you grief. If you're got a board that is working well for you now, then adding a tuner would be your best bet--you can get a decent analog tuner board for 50 bucks or so, or an HD board for 100-150 (the higher price gets better analog components), or an analog board with hardware encoder that cuts down the workload on your machine considerably in the same price range as an HD board--HD comes encoded so the hardware encoder doesn't gain you anything there.
