How good is the TV out on the 350? (e.g. does Myth sync with the VBI 
properly, is the interlace handled right, and can X drive it in native PAL 
resolution instead of the horrible scaling that the likes of the Nvidia 
cards do to make their TV outs work with all resolutions).

I was thinking of putting in an Nvidia MX440, building a VGA -> RGB 
converter and configuring a custom modeline in X to trive the VGA output 
at PAL resolution, but if the TV out on the 350 is good I might use that 
instead.
