Best suited: HD2600XT or HD3450
I'm after some advice on which graphics card is the better card for my HTPC. I'm looking to get a card that is quiet and provides an HDMI port.
The machine I am currently building will be solely used to play CD/DVD disks and hard disk based movies (xvid mostly) as well as mp3/ogg music.
The machine will have 2GB RAM (DDR2-800) and be running a Althlon64 X2 4000+ CPU.
The intention is to run XPMC, although I also have VistaMC which I may load to compare performace with XPMC, the graphics card therefore needs to be able to handle both OS.
Thoughts, advice...
