After many searchs of this forum I decided that the Nvidia FX5200 is the card for my new MythTV setup. However there are multiple options on this card and I don't know which will work. 128 or 256 Memory on board? AGP or PCI (I have slots for bolth). Also I want to be sure they will be compatible with Linux and the Mythbox. I want DVI output, all the cards seem to have that, I would settle for component Video w/adaptor if I can get 1080i resolution. I'll be outputting to my Sony 56" HDTV.

I'm new to Linux and mythTV, learning alot on this forum, but don't want to buy equipment I can't use. Thanks for your help.

Memory size on the video card is really not important if you will just be using it for mythtv, any modern video card will have pleanty for mythtv.

Since you have AGP that would be the preferd bus slot. Also since you may use component video you would be better off using a 6200 based card.
Here is one that would work well, it has every thing you will need and is only $55.00

This video card is fanless which will keep the noise down.
