If you're using the onboard video, anything will be faster. I'm not familiar with the Phillips card, but the Apple AV card is slower than the HPV, and they made a 2MB HPV that could accept a 4MB upgrade. That said... Neither Apple's HPV or AV cards are accelerated. The biggest advantage is that they have their own RAM, and don't tie up system RAM, which helps with speed. Peace, Aqua
