Hi all,

I have a barebone SN41G2, AMD 2000+ as a media center, and is working fine but it is getting obsolete for HD playback.

I wish to know if any AGP graphic card can do all the work for HD playback (nvidia has graphics card with hardware acceleration for HD playback, but it is PCI express)??

Do you think that the most powerful AGP card isn't enough?

Thanks in advance,

A.Silva

A good Nvidia AGP card will work fine, but your CPU isn't fast enough. You'll need to upgrade to at least an Athlon XP 2800+ processor to handle HD.

I disagree. I use a SN41G2B with a 2400+ CPU and an nVidia card. I play back HD. You have to use XvMC but it plays back fine.
