The 9FX-PlusMPEG card ($199) for PCI-based PCs lets you load and view MPEG video files without having to change your Windows settings. In addition to high-quality video, the card feeds synchronized 16-bit CD-quality audio through a mini-jack, which you can connect to stereo speakers or another external amplifier or back into your PC's 16-bit sound card for sound-mixing. To take advantage of the 9FX-PlusMPEG card, your system needs a PCI graphics accelerator with DCI support.
