Please recommend a video card (1 Viewer)

You don't need alot of memory as long as it's a pure HTPC-computer, I have no problem running MP and watching 1080p movies with my HD3200 board with Vista.

The only reason I can see to go with a dedicated board on the AMD side is the audio part and the "AMD stream" support.

But if you a Nvidia board you get the same audio output as you do with dedicated boards.

Why buy a dedicated videocard at all? Why not go with a motheboard with a integrated chip? Like the 780G or the Nvidia 9200/9300?

Well I have been using the 780G since it was available here in Norway and I haven't had any problems what so ever with image quality, I have had other problems but none of them have been GPU-related. That is I have had one minor problem, and that was that audio dropped out when changing input on the TV, but that has been fixed.

I have three HTPCs running, and the only reason why I'm using a dedicated card on one of them is because it's connected to an old CRT without HDMI input.
