About 2 yrs ago I bought a Compaq SR1550NX, 1 Gb Ram, 200 Gb SATA HD, with an Athlon 64 3400+ 2.4 Ghz. Since I wanted to work with graphics and play some games I hooked it up to a 19 in Viewsonic and slapped an ATI X800XL AGP onto the MB as well as another SATA 250 GB for storage. The whole thing was running under Win XP SP2 more or less flawlessly.
Due to an XP problem I decided to restore the system with factory provided DVDs, but am now experiencing problems with the video card, this leads me to believe that was the problem all along. The card works and I am convinced it is a driver problem but the ATI "customer service" guy in New Delhi is reading from a script and is of no help whatsoever. So I am thinking of buying another video card. (NOT ATI).
Does anyone know of an AGP video card of $200 or less that is capable of recording video, i.e. I can plug in a VCR into it like I can do with my current card. And I do not want to get an additional device like Dazzle or Video Xpress.

I have one nvidia geforce card and two radeon cards, and I'm happier with the radeons. If you downloaded the latest catalyst drivers from amd/ati, you should be good to go.
Nvidia doesnt have great cards in AGP anymore, I have a X1600 Pro AGP and it works great to record videos with the avivo technology

What you want would be really tough to find. Your next option is really a PCI video capture device. There are cheap ones that would easily interface with a VCR:
