Hmmm, I want to ask, whether a better graphic card give less load to the cpu when watching a movie? Mine now is Diamond stealth 4 mb, I used to use it with p2 300, and it was terribly lagging. Then I change to xp 1600, the load is still 100%, but it is much better, but still lagging. If I change my card to let say radeon 8500, will it lighten my cpu load?

Thanks

it will look the same, divx doesn't get any better. It's like a picture in a photo album, you can put on 500$ super glasses and it stay the same, the quality is up to who takes the picture and develope it.

try <A HREF="http://www.vcdhelp.com" target="_new">this</A> maybe, not sure if it will answer any of your questions but worth the try. see if they got a link to divx faq
