I would second that.  I use a silent GT220 card in my MythTV box (Asus
Bravo 220), and it does everything needed for MythTV.  You do get
occasional problems with Nvidia updating the drivers and missing
testing properly on older cards like the GT220, so the drivers can
stop working and need to be backleveled for a while.  The current
Nvidia drivers are fine.
