If you don't plan on playing new games on it it's perfect low heat, low noise it's just perfect.

Do you have agp or pci-e slot?
Because i don't know if it's hdcp compliant.

What about one of the new HD2400s if its just basically a htpc you want then these were born to do the job.

for cristip60 = it's a PICe slot and for mactronix, i can't afford those type of cards right now, maybe next year, i dont wanna move to HD yet cuz i dont have a HD monitor nor LCD TV so thank you and yeah... but i dont have windows vista(just in my laptop) but now i just gonna do little gaming(call of duty 2, madden NFL 2007 among others) but yeah........ and i think that this video card can handle HD video cuz my GMA950 can play HD content(in my laptop) well... thanks for y'all advice
