Ugh... xSATA or Cap card?

[Sniped Sniper]

I was wondering... I've only got $20 left after buying alot of crap, I know I can't really get anything with that but I can save up or borrow some of my parents money.

 

I was thinking of getting xSATA to mod Halo 2/3 but I don't know if that's the ONLY piece of hardware I need. If there's anything else I probably won't get it then. And there also is that risk of getting banned, but I love modding and I'd risk even my Xbox for it. I've already got some software like, HxD, and some Screenshot tools too.

 

But I wanted a capture card since like Halo 2... Never got round to buying it though, and I'd make like Hundreds of Videos a month if I had one. I love sharing my stuff, especially media with other people. I've got a slow laptop though which might make capturing a bit gay.

 

So which one do you think I should get? Good quality capture cards are more expensive than xSata I think.

 

Well anyway if I get one now I'll probably get the other one later, not anytime soon though.

 

Edit: I just found out you won't really get banned for modding.

Whats the specs of your laptop?

[Sniped Sniper]

Haha...

1.6Ghz Intel Pentium Processor

512mb Ram

128mb Intel Express Family chip 915GM (graphics)

Around 5-6gb free HDD Space.

 

I usually run out of Page file/ram if I'm on the laptop for a long time and open alot of things

 

I guess it's xSata then.

 

By the way is xSATA/Any transfer cable the only piece of hardware I need for Halo2/3 usermap mods? Like swapping those Tags (Mongoose -> Pelican) How much is it? How do I connect it to my Box > PC?

How much is it?

How do I connect it to my Box > PC?
