<br>You must not have been keeping up with the list. :) VDPAU is great stuff. It offloads ALL of the decoding to the video card. People on the list have been using fanless cards without trouble. I don't know about low profile though, but if you have found some, they should be fine. <br>
<br>You have to be willing to run beta quality software, but the drivers and MythTV have been working great for me. I can decode 1080p h264 video files I couldn't play at all before at about 5% CPU now. <br></div></div>
