Hey all, just thought I'd give a heads-up to the list... I purchased a cheap ($30 with a $10 mail-in-rebate for a $20 final cost) GeForce 210 card from Fry's over the weekend... It's not fanless, which I really wanted -- but the fan is pretty quiet on it so I can't complain too much for $20! Your local Fry's may or may not have any, and the sale only goes through the 11th I believe... it's out of stock on the website so you'll have to buy it locally if you are lucky enough to have a Fry's nearby.<br>
<br><a href="http://www.frys.com/product/6046258">http://www.frys.com/product/6046258</a><br><br>It fits in a single-slot and does not protrude into the next at all, which was a requirement for me as my two 1x slots are being used by tuners. :)<br>
<br>This is my first forray into VDPAU, and *wow*, am I impressed! I never saw "top" go past 5% CPU usage when playing back either 720p or 1080i over-the-air content... and that's with my 5600+ (2.8ghz X2) idling at 1ghz during playback.<br>
<br>Anyway, thought this might interest some on the list...<br>Best of luck...<br>--Eric<br>
