    ATI or Nvidia cheap card w/ TV-out for HTPC

    Building a HTPC for my brother and he just needs a cheap PCI-Ex card to put in his Antec Aria and Abit IG-80.

    Not sure whether to go ATI/Nvidia or whether there is much of a difference. He just needs it to do dual view so he can watch a movie on the TV and use the desktop on his LCD.

    I'd recommend a nvidia card as well as the "purevideo" software as this makes a major difference on my media PC and makes the video better quality due to the hardware on ther 6xxx series is designed to make video quality better and less "jaggy"
