OK, thanks for that.

Having a quick look after a search, the 6600 based nVidias seem like the way to go, without getting too expensive. (wanna say keep under AUS$200)

Looking at a 128meg or 256meg based 6600 card, AGP.

Now, do all the 6600s have hardware decoders?

Any particular 6600s to steer clear of??

Have a DNTV Live Pro card on the way, for twin tuners. (incase that influences decission on card)
