If you ever have intentions of viewing HDTV using XV scaling, I would recommend
*against*:
ASUS V9520-X/TD GeForce FX 5200.
http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=2&l2=7&l3=9&model=273&modelmenu=1
Mad Dog Multimedia Conqueror FX 5200.
http://www.mdmm.com/products/graphics/fx5200agp.asp
Both of these have problems using the video overlay to scale at least some
1920x1080 (1080i) content down to lower resolutions.
The Mad Dog Multimedia card I have will scale properly using the blitter, but
it ends up with some temporal distortions on the output.
