[mythtv-users] Video Cards for HDTV

I gave up on HDTV with mythtv a while back when my AMD 2700+ couldn't
quite cut it. I've decided to give it another shot and have purchased a
P4 3.06 ghz CPU. The motherboard that came bundled with it is:

I was wondering if the onboard video is good enough for HD or if I
should use the Nvidia FX5200 that I bought for my last HDTV attempt? I
can't quite find enough info on the unichrome drivers (if they even
support my motherboard) in the list archives.

Also, are there any advantages/disadvantages to the Nvidia 6200 when
compared to the FX-5200 with regards to mythtv?

Thanks,
Garron
