Why should he pay his parents rent if they haven't asked him to? Seems
to me that that's their business and not yours.

I'm in the early stages of upgrading my PC, again. Since I now have
a job, live at home, and therefore have no bills to pay (yet), I can
finally

afford
to purchase hardware that is top-of-the-line now, not 6 months - 1
year

ago.
One of the things I'll definately be buying is the 9800 Pro. While

shopping
around, I noticed the 9800 Pro All-in-Wonder is generally less than
$10

more
than the 9800 Pro. I do a small amount of video editing, and my old
WinTV card is starting to show its age. Would it be worth it to get
the All-in-Wonder? Will it perform exactly as well as a 9800 Pro,
with the

added
VIVO features? The card I am looking to purchase (9800 Pro
All-in-Wonder 128MB) is manufactured by Sapphire.

Also, I have a question about dual-displays. Currently I am using 2
monitors, the primary display driven by a GeForce4 Ti4200, the
secondary display by a GeForce2MX. Will I run into issues with
conficting drivers by having the 9800 Pro and GeForce2 running
simultaneously? Or would it be easier to just purchase an older ATI
card to replace the older GeForce

card?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.
