So this is with XvMC? (Unless I have misunderstood something, regular xv based output would not differ in the artifacts from card to card) Component out is of course a plus (at the cost of a fan) -- but did you save money? The cheapest form of this card I see with component out is in the $185 range. An MX440 card is only about $35 and you can get the audio authority component converter for $100 or so on eBay, though it is nicer to get it all in one. Of course, some day DVI will work and we'll have all-digital direct output from card to TV, for those who have dvi/hdmi.
