I'm looking for a PCI video card with TV out (HDMI, DVI, Component, or
S-Video), ideally a passively cooled card.
While I want a passively cooled card, I don't want one where the heatsink
gets hot enough to cook waffles on.
It's only going to be used for MythTV, so it doesn't have to support
gaming, etc.
I've found a couple cards, but I'm not sure if they are suitable for Myth.
One uses a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 55. I'm pretty sure the Nvidia Quadro is
supported by Xview (yes/no?) Any comments?
The other choices all seem to be Radeon based, but I've read that the
Radeon 7000 cards are not a good choice?
Any other suggestions? Oh yeah, it has to be a 1/2 length PCI card, the
case won't support a full length or even a 3/4 length.
