What video card though?
the 8800 lower end series are good I hear, they have the chip for HD decoding through i hear the software is still kinda rough on it. You would need to use something like powerdvd. Though CoreAVC is a codec that is supposed to be very good and doesnt use the chip at all.

A story. A man fires a rifle for many years. and he goes to war. And afterwards he comes home, and he sees that whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always remain a jarhead. And all the jarheads killing and dying, they will always be me. We are still in the desert.
