I'd like to second this; I'm integrated a NES into one of the CD-sized bays in my computer, and I'd like to be able to view the input on my computer in realtime without lag.

Thought I'd help you guys look. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... 25|&Sort=4

I don't know about PCI capture cards, I've only used AGP graphic cards with capture ability. I know that you'll want something made within the last five years, as my Radeon 9000 does a lot better job of recording TV then say my Dad's Radeon 8500.

Last thing to say is that, $50 isn't going to get you something great, unless it's a damn good deal. You should think about a price range of about $100. It's more realistic, and you'll get more overall.
