i will never game. my budget is $100, but i could go to $125. i will be watching 35% 720p/1080i/1080p, 50% DVD, 15% avi files. i would like to know the best overall card for image quality, upconversion, and performance (no stuttering/choppiness). i don't know all the good sites, so the following...

happy new year and thanks for all the help! i was going to get the 8500gt based on the replies, until i read Bernard's post. that lead me to look at the 2 articles that helped me narrow my choices and some more reading. now i'm totally stumped. below are the 2 articles (i don't know all the good...

are all the terms below only for games or would some apply for high definition video? Shader Processors Shader Clock Pixel Fill Rate Texture Fill Rate Texture Units Raster Operators

i don't game. are there image quality and performance differences between the two? also is fanless better? i have a q6600 and small case.

I lost the user guide and maybe there isn't an integrated videocard. It says Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and the laptop is an Acer 5570z

If this isn't the right place to ask, please move it. I have Vista and a Dual Core T2080 with 1gb ram and integrated videocard IIRC. Maybe the following information will help. No good wifi connection I think, and I tried a portable TV but couldn't get any reception.

I want to watch 720p and 1080p divx and regular DVD's on my TV. What are the 2 best agp cards for under $35-$40 total on ebay? Do video cards upconvert DVD's? Thanks.

Should've made myself more clear. I will be watching regular DVD's, no HD-DVD or BD discs yet. The divx will be 720p and 1080p. So is a 6600gt the best choice price and performance wise for what I want to do? This is probably a stupid question, but do video cards upconvert DVD's?

Thanks people. I was thinking about getting a 6600gt. Is that good enough or is there something better for a little more or less money?

I want to watch high res and HD divx and DVDs with my PC on the TV. I might also want to browse web and view pictures just to see what it's like. My PC is a Dell 400sc with P4 2.8GHz HT, 1GB ram, 2 dvd burners, 2 hds, Win XP Pro and everything else on it is stock. Can I turn it into a HTPC by...
