Yeah, that vid card will work. What program are you using to play the video though? You might want to check out some other programs before you get the card. Your cpu may be holding you back as well, depending on the program you use.

hey if you buy by tomorrow (6/25) at newegg make sure to get 10% off and use this code: VGASALE10

I would suggest this xfx hd4650 it has a better warranty at 2 dollars more then the saphire

i use both windows media player classic and VLC media player to play 1080p movies..

i also have the opteron 165 slightly overclocked.. prob from 1.8ghz to 2.0ghz

thanks for the coupon and the suggestion!

however the sapphire i posted has HDMI.. also the XFX uses DDR2 memory whereas the sapphire uses GDDR3.. is there a big difference?

Maybe this guy? Silent and seems to be well reviewed for the purpose you would use it for.

This looks like a good choice too, although if would be $19.99 over your limit. Would allow you to play a game if you ever got the bug again.
