Help with recommendation on better video card for my G4Dual 1gz with 1.25GBRAM.

I run a DIVCO gold fusion HDTV card and have image trouble that may be related to my CPU processor or just the videocard. If it’s the video card, id like suggestions on a better card for the HDTV problem.

I have two Samsung monitors, 24” and 21”. The 42” is connected to the videocards left slot and the 21 to the right viewed from the back facing the cards outputs. Boot is to the 21” ie the apple logo comes on the 21” then shifts to the 24” as boot continures.

Ill try to shut down annd move the 24” to the right socked and remove the 21 while I look at the HDTV image.

Images under the DVCO card vary from %35-40% for FOX NFL football to %90% CBS NFL football. This is over the air HDTV true HDTV. On the large screen ie Fox seems to transmit a much smaller image than CBS. ABC is about the same size as Fox and does not present image problems as Im guessing these smaller images are easier for either the CPU or the videocards to process

Id like to separate the problem to see if a better more RAM card may help me with the larger HDTV images

Cheers your advice is much appreciated in advance.
