Video card question / New Guy

[tony7758]

I have just bought Beyond TV and like it so far. I have a couple of Video cards and wanted to ask what one would be best to use with this program. I have the Win TV PV-250 PCI (retail) and am now running a GeForce FX5500oc 128meg AGP with it. I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 9200 AGP on the shelf that is 128meg too. Any Pros \ Cons to these cards with this program? I had bought the ATI card last month with plans to build this into a HTPC. I had planned to put in the ATI but it sounds like everybody here suggest the Nvida cards. I am running AMD 2400+ CPU with 1 gig ram.
Thanks

I have had great results using NVidia pure video technology, many people on these boards have similar stories. To take full advantage of pure video you need the NVidia card you have plus the NVidia decoder from the NVidia website US$20 http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html

I looked around in this forum last night and decided. I returned the ATI card to Wallmart and ordered a PNY 6200 256meg AGP card. I should have it in a few days.
Thank you for your help.
