    If you are outputting to a PJ, then you are using the VGA connection I gather? In that case the quality of 2D (eg DVD) is virtually identical for all cards made in the last 5 years, certainly at the resolutions you will be using.

    Many recommend VIA M10000 based boards. Low noise, Hardward Mpeg2 decoding, 1GHz Low power CPU, tiny Miny-ITX form factor and onboard GFX and sound..
