Correct. The only difference between the two cards is that the 350 has an
MPEG _Decoder_ in addition to the _Encoder_, so it can be used to playback
the recorded video files with minimal CPU usage. If you won't be playing
video on the backend there's absolutely no reason to spend the extra money
on the 350.
