I need a cheap lowprofile card. What about the Mpeg 2 decoding? is that supported in both cards?

5200 kid - tho i'd consider the rest of the fully fledged 9x series especially a 9600pro if u can get it as its a nice little goer for reasonable money :D

That was mainly due to the fact that ati used to build their own cards and their was nobody else using their chipsets. The quality of the tv out is dependend on the quality of the used components.

HI
If i'm only going to use the computer for watching/record tv (using my hauppauge PVR-500), watch DVDs and surf the web.
Why should i get the GeForce N6200 instead of the FX5200?

Thanks

But here's the odd thing: The next time I opened the XMLTV EPG mapper (where you map actual channels to channels available in the EPG), the radio...

(this is a crosspost from the madVR thread, as the same issue is discussed there) It seems like the problem is specific to NVIDIA and has two causes: 1.

I tried setting the windows screensaver to power off the display on my MP1 HTPC but in fact it only blanks the screen ("no video signal") on the TV I suspect the AVR has something to do with that. If I manually put the TV only into standby when TV is playing but paused then on wakeup I could not immediately take it out of pause and...
