[QUOTE="Oculus, post: 154331, member: 22236"] I'm considering the ATI 24xx HD, with VC-1 and H.264 hardware decoding for my HTPC hi-def upgrade. Low power consumption and about 20% CPU usage on a 1.8GHz Sempron looks promising, and of course, the most important thing is that Sapphire has announced AGP version of the card. My HTPC is build on a nForce2 mobo, so a PCIe solution would require quite an upgrade. A PCI hardware solution would be of interest as well but I'd have to compare the power consumption of my current graphics card + the PCI solution vs. the 15-25W of the ATI 24xx HD card. [/QUOTE]
