<p>I have been reading about people's success with various
nvidia cards. As I would need a PCI card in my machine I am interested in experiences
with a GeForce 8400 card, VDPAU & HDPVR recordings. It seems like this
would allow me to upgrade my via epia m10000 frontend. My question is: is
256MB sufficient or do I need a 512MB card. My understanding is the CPU speed/horsepower
is not critical for the decoding as it is all done on the card. The former can
be found fanless and PCI the latter not. I'd prefer fanless but don't
want to drop $60 on something that won't be suitable. Any advice
appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
