Graphics Card Decent Enough for Media Center?

[MajorD]

I have a Media Center PC which I'm trying to quiet down and also improve performance somewhat.

I currently have an ATI All-In-Wonder x1900 with a dead TV-Tuner built in and is out of warranty. so....


I'm thinking of going with a second TV Wonder 650 by ATI (TV Tuner)

Is this Card decent? (mainly for price and composite output)

My Question: Will this graphics card be decent enough to run Media Center on XP? Better yet, would it be ok for Vista's Media Center? Thanks for any help in advance?

My 7100GS can't display video at 1920x1200 if that helps.

Gotta be an ATI HD3450 for a HTPC. Low-profile ones are available in the UK now too.

I have a ASUS Silent 8500GT, Bluray / HD-DVD no problems at 1080i I would expect it could do 1080P no problems.

I currently use ATI HD2400 in my HTPC HFX classic.

I'm with Gav for a media PC you should be looking at a Radeon 3450 built in audio over HDMI and onboard HD decoding.

why don't you try posting in the ATIcare@HeXus forum? the handle AIW cards there, might be able to spec something for your needs...

that said, a 3450/3650 could probably do you fine.
