That's certainly not correct. You're confusing two things here.

the G98 based 8400 only has 8 shaders units vs 16 for the 9400GT

I have both a 9400GT *and* a G98 8400gs.

the 8400gs won't do any Temporal/Spatial (advanced in Myth) on 1080i
content, while the 9400GT will happily do both

The only advantage of the G98 is that it can do full VC-1 decoding in
hardware. it doesn't mean it's a more powerful card in the great scheme of
things

Irrelevant when it comes to deinterlacing.
