For anyone looking to make the switch to a Nvidia card for their Myth system, TigerDirect has a MX 440 for $19.99 after rebate. Pretty easy on the wallet if you ask me, and maybe worth having around for a backup or for building that remote frontend you've been thinking about!

Looks like I am running an NV18 as well. The picture quality is pretty good with SVIDEO, in my opinion. I guess its hard to say unless I had an NV17 to compare it to. Dave On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 18:53:25 -0500, Craig Partin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 14:11:23 -0800, Big Wave
