Io ce l'ho da un anno circa, 
secondo me è una buona scheda video.


La utilizzo per acquisizione 
solo saltuariamente, e solo se devo acquisire da sorgenti analogiche (per il 
digitale ho una soluzione IEE1394).


Non mi ha mai dato 
problemi.


Credo che il prodotto valga 
bene il costo (dovrebbe essere sceso sotto le 200Klire).
