That is still a waste of money..<br>
You need feature set & sufficient gflops & RAM.<br>

The minimum recommended GPU is GT220 with 512M.<br>
The GT210 is the best silent card available now in New Zealand.<br>

<pre wrap="">I got a Antec NSK1480 case and put a Gigabyte GA-M85M-U2SH motherboard
in it. The motherboard has a NVidia GeForce 8200 chipset built in.
That motherboard was very hard to get hold of. There were a few
online vendors who showed that they had them, but when it came time to
order, they didn't have the stock and couldn't get it. I ended up
getting it from Global PC for a lot more that it was being advertised
everywhere else (even after the discount they gave me). What's really
disappointing though, is that there are some other cheaper
motherboards available with GeForce 7xxx chipsets on them. Aparently
they also support VDPAU. Too late, it's done now.

The 8200 IGP doesn't have much grunt and will struggle even with VDPAU.
Given that it is a SLI motherboard I wonder if something like a

grunt that is being described, as well as the component out, not to mention the price....? Might be good for the current TV, as
well as beef up the vdpau for HDMI?
