Hi people

Ik now have a GForce4MX
as i read here on the mediaportal site, this isnt a directx9 cart.

I have the problem that the menu can be pretty slow (especially with dvd/mpeg playback. e.g. when resuming from pause.)
switching to vrml9 did reduce my problems but did not 100% solve it
I'm using Mediaportal 0.1.3

so i plan to replace it with one of the carts below:

MSI Nvidia FX5100 64MB AGP Bulk
http://cool-prices.nl/index.php/18,hid--2,sgid--143,artId--2623

ASUS N6200TD 128Mb. 8X AGP
http://cool-prices.nl/index.php/18,hid--2,sgid--143,artId--2813

ASUS A9550 ATI Radeon 9550 128 MB AGP8X VGA DVI TV-OUT
http://cool-prices.nl/index.php/18,hid--2,sgid--5,artId--5

Since the FX5100 is the cheapest (€27.95) and i am dutch. My prefernce goes out to that cart. But is this cart enough to get rid of my problem?

thanx for your answers/opinions

    Found that they all are DX9 comp., so it van't be all wrong.

    Pers. I would go for the 6200. The FX5100 is rather unknown to me.

    Go for the 6200TC.

    PS moved the topic to the correct area.

    Dx9 compatible: does that automaticly mean my problems with the menu should be fixed?

    that's the prime reason i'm doing this upgrade

    Is the TVout of that 6200 ok?

    It should yes, bit you havent listed the rest of your hardware so we cant be sure.

    The tvout comes with composite/svideo/component/dvi so plenty of connectors there. Just make sure you get the HDTV model otherwise itll only come with svideo out.
