Doing some research, it appears a likely new chip of choice for a myth<br>
box might be the nvidia gt220. Cards (pcie only) can be had for<br>
about $70, and a new fanless card has been announced by ECS but is<br>
not for sale.<br></blockquote><div><br>Which specific card did you purchase? It would be interesting for you and Andre to post benchmark numbers to the wiki including if you purchased the DDR2 or DDR3 model and how fast your memory clock was running. I notice some of the clocks run at 800 or 1000MHz (DDR2) and others run at 1580MHz (DDR3). <br>
<br>I would agree that for an always-on HTPC, 7w idle power is very attractive.<br><br>/Brian/<br><br></div></div>
