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

[Jeff Roberts]

for what its worth i use plain old pci nvidia cards in all my
frontends (they all either have pci only bus or pci and pci-e)
everything from a celeron 700m to a p4 2.4g seems to playback fine to
a tv or monitor in my experience.  I think I have used an mx4000 and
mx400 and a pci 5200 of some sort.
