Hey,
another fairly old-school hardware query. So I've got a media PC chugging away nicely, whose gaming days are over. I was thinking the x850 in there is a little overkill for such a job - it's pretty toasty warm and offers no video (read: H.264 and VC-1) acceleration. I also have an x1550 sat here gathering dust, which does allegedly do this - it's a piddly little underpowered thing though.
Would this be a worthwhile swap?
