I have a couple n210-md512h in my Mythfrontends. I got them because
they were cheap, fanless VDPAU C cards and do 5.1 audio (which works
with F12 and the alsa drivers from atrpms). For the most part they've
worked well but I'm only able to get playback with VDPAU normal. The
picture is generally pretty good but I can see some very faint
horizontal lines, particularly when there is a lot of motion. If I
switch to VDPAU high quality they seem to go away and there is a
noticeable improvement in picture quality.... but it stutters a
little. I'm thinking of buying better 220 or better cards to replace
them. Can anyone suggest something decent? I'd like:<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Must work well with VDPAU High Quality (duh)<br>
</li>
<li>Something that runs cooler. I know I'm looking at a fan but if
it's quiet that's ok.</li>
<li>Must have HDMI out and work with a Samsung DLP and LCD (I've read
cards/TV are having issues)</li>
<li>Must have *working* 5.1 audio or better. By working I mean work
under Fedora 12 + alsa-driver from Atrpms... I just want to grab an
RPM for my kernel, I'm not compiling alsa every time. Without this I
can't watch my H.264/ACC content. </li>
<li>Prefer if it was under $100<br>
</li>
</ol>
