MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema — Hardware and Software
Between all four cards, MSI's FX5200 Personal Cinema is the cheapest, though this means that you should expect the bare essentials. While both eVGA and Chaintech bundle RCA and S-Video cables, MSI does not, which means you will have to add this to your buying list if you don't already have them to enable capturing from an external source (i.e. camcorder, VCR, etc.).

This card is definitely not suited for gaming. NV34 (GeForce FX 5200 and 5200 Ultra) based cards are suited well as a stop gap before your next serious purchase, but this card is a Personal Cinema, which is in a whole other ballpark than desktop cards. This card is more of something to consider for multimedia users on a budget; although, $150 is still a considerable amount of pocket change. While this GPU isn't suited for gaming, MSI still does provide the ability to overclock the card.

While Ulead's VideoStudio 6 SE DVD is licensed with GeForce4 and GeForce FX Personal Cinemas, MSI seems to have bundled Ulead's VideoStudio 7 SE DVD. We are not sure how the licensing on this works out, but it nevertheless is worthy to note.
