Actually, I think that's the way I want to go. I want the best image
quality I can get. Small and silent is nice, but not as important as
the image quality.  I can get a 6200 here easily enough. How likely
do you think it is it can decode mpeg to the TV output without
processing the interlace? Isn't X windows going to get in the way
of that? And how is nVidia for Linux drivers? I can't remember
which out of ATI and nVidia do opensource (or is it neither)?
