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).

I would agree that for an always-on HTPC, 7w idle power is very attractive.
