If you have a Firewire port, then that's your best choice.
If you have USB 2.0 then you can find something that will work and for less money than one that uses Firewire but you might see some lag.
If you have USB 1.1 forget it, sure you can find them but the lag will suck.

Go to newegg.com they have a few. Check out Pinnacle Systems for some nice ones.

You are gonna get lag no matter what playing xbox through a tv tuner card. The faster the pace of the game you play, the more noticeable the lag will be.
