I just picked up a 6200 card at Compuseless for $100 this week to use for my first Myth system that I'll be starting this coming week. Will it work in an Athlon 2400+ as a FE/BE or should I return it and get something else? I'm not new to Linux (been using it for ages) but I am new to Mythtv. I'll probably use FC4 if that matters.
Any NVIDIA card (for drivers) from GF4MX440 on up should work well. If doing high-def, you're better off with a GF5200 or above, so you've even got HDTV covered. Note that you won't get any better hardware decoding support from a GF7800GTX 512 than from a GF5200+, so there's really no reason to spend more (and, if the restocking fee is less than the price difference, you could even spend less on a 5200).
