Re: Microsoft Boy considers Linux Media Center?
This one was interesting: http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/450/14
"The HD 2600 XT ICEQ Turbo DDR3 is a very prominent series. For the money versus the features this is going to be a well received mid-range product. It offers heaps of features and functionality for a fair sum of money. With videocards however, there's more to consider then just gaming. Think about other functionality for a minute. The media playback/encoding/decoding functions. HDTV, media center, Dual-link DVI, HD playback, offloading the CPU for playback, H.264 or whatever decoding process you need; this product is capable of it. The card would rock as a HDTV decoder in a HTPC, it's completely silent, it scores a near perfect score image quality wise with HQV HD and can accelerate the decoding process over the GPU."
