Since vdpau is all handled on the video card, your processor isn't going to 
change the fact that a 210 can't do any of the high end 2x vdpau 
deinterlacing.  I think the GT430 has been the recommended card for a while 
now (though I am running 220s just fine with VDPAU High Quality), even with 
a fan.  I think one of the big benefits of the 430 is the HDMI audio is 
probably more likely to work.
