Any low-end PCI or PCIe graphics card will probably be just fine. I've
got some $50 PCIe NVidia cards which I purchased specifically for
their ability to do full decoding of h.264. I bought them almost two

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce

It has HDMI, DVI-I and DisplayPort outputs, and can drive any two of
