9100 radeon 64 or 128 for watching dvds

[Motero]

Not sure if there will even be any difference in appearance watching dvds. Is the extra 64 mb worth it?

Not worth it. A 64mb card will be fine.

Thanks for the input...I haven't had any problems with the 9100s in anyone's pc yet, but I haven't had anyone want to watch dvd before.

If you're not gaming, you can even go for a silent, fanless 9000. All the great video features of the 9100 with zero fan noise. Only half the gaming power though....

Of course, the fanless Radeon 9600 non-pro not only has great gaming power but also is getting additional DivX gains! So far the DivX player (that comes with the codec) supports 9500/9600/9700/9800 cards for better quality DivX.

Good gaming speed, fanless (silent!), and better DivX... I'd go with a 9600 NP if you're an occasional gamer and can afford the little extra.
