[QUOTE="bwzuk, post: 19118, member: 10895"] I think the card you've linked to is a little underpowered. I've just stuck a geforce 6200 in my shuttle and I'm very happy with it. It was around 60 quid, and I managed to get one with a heatsink rather than a fan to keep the noise down. The picture quality via tv-out is vastly superior to my onboard graphics card and it seems to have taken a lot of load off the cpu as well. Alternativly I was also considering one of the geforce 5000 series, which are very cheap now, although they don't have the mpeg decoding acceleration you get with the 6000 series cards. This makes quite a difference particularly if you are using the nvidia decoders. Here's where I got my card [url]http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-GF6225[/url] [/QUOTE]
