[mythtv-users] $30 FX5200 at CompUSA

[Phill Wiggin]

Anyone know if the newegg card comes w/ a low-profile shieldplate?  I'd 
be willing to ditch my 9200se radeon if the nvidia actually _works_. *sigh*

(Sorry, been hacking at this 9200se for over a week now w/ no real 
results. I'm just a little exaspirated. :))
