Graphics card is a Geforce FX 5200 -lower end, but cheap and no noisy fan on board.  So, I can't really get any 3-d screensavers to work, not that I care about that.  Google earth is really slow, and I'm only running that at about 1/4 to 1/2 of the screen size.

Yep.  1920x1080 with a GF4MX440.  However, I turned off OpenGL 
visualizations (MythMusic) and transitions (MythGallery).

Not with the amount MythTV does...  (MythVideo and MythGallery may be 
another story.)
