    Getting a 2400Pro for my old Xp 2500

    Hmm I just found a very interesting article, though it seems babelfish translated from Chinese. It shows the effectivness of 2400 as HD decoding, on a sempron 2800+ it only uses between 5-10% of the CPU power when playing H264 and VC-1 Movies. Thats pretty amasing. My old barton 2500 Xp-M is getting a revival... Being able to underclock on the fly to decrease cpu fan speed and getting and 2400pro agp version seems like a nice investment.

    Any thoughts? Is it a good idea or just waste of time?

    And the earliest prices I have found so far are 40 pounds... So its not bad.

      Man, I haven't visited this forum in years and my old account/password still exists.

      Actually, the link isn't broken, just continue scrolling down down down until you see the King Kong and the screen and a chinese graphic following it.

      What I want to know is what they used to encode the file.

        hehe welcome back then

        Well I understood it to be Blueray dvds and HD dvds that they used.

        But you didnt say what you thought about my Idea.


        Kind regards

            From the looks of it, its a pretty sweet HTPC card for playback...
            Not sure what it would be like encoding on the fly, but for BluRay and HDDVD and such, it looks like a very good choice...

            Now to pop to the garage and try and find a replacement rear light for my Clio, that my mother has just broken reversing into the front gate...D'oh!
