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
/T

I think the N6200 is more value for today's machines... the fx5200 is an older model, cheap though but the N6200 isn;t that much more expensive.
The N6200 will (not fully) support the use of the PureVideo decoder from nvidia which takes some work of the CPU and pass it on to the GPU; meaning less CPU power needed.
