DVI-D would be the best, yes. VGA is slightly less good, but still very good 
and better than SVideo (I feed my HDTV with VGA through component video 
transcoder). I'd stick to a GeForce series card, but there's no need to get 
anything more than a GF4MX or FX 5200. ATI cards just don't seem to work as 
well under Linux.

Rather than having the computer decode Dolby Digital ac3 audio in my divx 
files and spit out the decoded signal to my amp, I have mplayer set up to 
pass the raw, still-encoded digital audio stream over to my amp for it to do 
the DD decoding. A relatively nice Yamaha amp like mine kicks the pants off 
the computer when it comes to that type of thing, since its specifically 
built for that. It also gets the ac3 volume rescaling correct, while the 
computer does not.
