I have an older comp i use to wach hd on my television, it currently has a 5200fx. I noticed they make a 8400 in pci now (around $50). Currently 720 and 1080 plays fine (with a few mpc plug ins), would i get any picture clairity or anything else by upgrading the 5200?

I dont play any video games or do anything else with that computer.

Thanks

Probably not. For HD, i think the 5200 should do fine.
