I got a 5200 card because at the time Xv support was still very immature, and 
I couldn't watch videos in MythVideo.  It couldn't keep up.  With Xv, the 
image wasn't being scaled properly and such.  Also, I wanted to try MythGame 
and had read that the 350 doesn't cut it for things like emulation 
(ironically, I STILL haven't set up MythGame  :-P )  On top of that, 
MythMusic's GOOM would not be possible on the 350.  Back when I was using it, 
also, the decoder was a little sketchy sometimes.  Doing really fast FF would 
eventually cause the screen to get all colorful and the decoder to lock up, 
usually. 

So, just the combination of many things drove me to try out a 5200.  I was 
building a new system anyway, and just decided to get fresh components and 
try something new...everyone on the lists said they were using one anyway.  
The 5200 definitely has it's advantages.  Especially if you're trying to 
drive a new HD TV using DVI or VGA, the 350 is not an option at all (of 
course, I don't have a TV with that capability yet).

The 350 output is simply stunning.  It beats the nvidia output hands down, any 
day.  The picture is perfect.  Not much more to say there.
