Hi all, i wish to change my graphic card and i'm going to buy (probably) this a SAPPHIRE ATI 9800pro [...]

1) i had to change something in my config or to reinstall the driver? (now i have a SAPPHIRE Radeon 9200SE)


Just swap the cards and everything should work fine without changing anything in your configuration. I do that sometimes with my 8500 LE and my brother's 9600 Pro. That's with the fglrx driver, of course, but I assume the XFree86 driver would behave the same.

That's good :)
i have the fglrx too (and i want to keep them)


2) i wish to use the card also for playing with playstation and watching TV, it's a good idea or i 'm going to have more problems than ever?


Playstation? What do you mean?

I don't know about the TV stuff, I never used that. I don't watch TV at all, in fact.

well, it's not the main problem of my life (and of this post :P) to watch the TV or to play with console on my pc but i just wondering to do that because sometimes i really want to play my old RPG, but actually i haven't a TV :P here http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review314_main1568_page2.html (that's the best i found in quick time...) you can see that the card have an A/V IN so it can't be too difficult to connect a VCR or something like it (maybe a PS... :P) to it.

anyway thanks for the replay :) as i say the main things was about change congfig/driver not the second point.

ByeBye
