</div>Exactly: why?<br>
I'm gessing the 30$ isn't PCI?<br>
<br>
Cheapest PCI 5200: 55 euro<br>
Cheapest PCI 6200: 40 euro<br>
Cheapest PCI 6200: 40 euro<br>
Cheapest PCI 7300: 67 euro<br>
Cheapest PCI 8400(GS/256MB/Passive): 55 euro<br>
<br>
Prices in the Netherlands though, PCI does make it harder to get cheap.<br>
<br>
Why not go for a Nforce 730i nboard with cheap processor and cheap<br>
ram?(should be around 200)(those are probably the only things you need<br>
to change)<br>
Besides: VDPAU isn't stable yet so why not wait half a year?<br>
<br>
