Re: Help me too choose AMD or Intel ???

Very good.

But : I have one problem with my AtiX300. I cannot get
a satisfying image on my TV (using the TV out connection).
It is monochrome. I have tried every setting available, but
to no avail.

On my previous baord with a Nvidia AGP - an inexpensive
Asus graphic board, everything was perfect. I do not
know how the version of the Nvidia board you mention
performs.
