In my case it comes down to a lack of free card slots. I can't fit
another graphics card, along with everything else I already have in
the case. My motherboard has built-in ATI graphics (9100-IGXP), but
I've had lots of problems getting that to work acceptably with Myth,
mostly due to ATI's lousy driver.
In my case, I don't watch DVDs or play games on my Myth box, so I
don't really mind most the drawbacks. The inability to control
overscan on the 350 is only a minor annoyance.
