[mythtv-users] Video Card - New mythtv Build w/o FX5200

[Joel Turner]

Sorry I guess I'm not seeing the search you are.

I managed to only pull up 15 that support socket 939 with AGP and  
only 4 of them with an Nforce3 chipset.  Since this will eventually  
deliver HD content, I need to go with a Venice or San Diego core.   
The low heat reference was really in relation to a Prescott as  
Northwood chips are no longer available.
