It all depends what you want to use it for. If you want to use your PC as a multimedia centre, then yes. It's good for DVDs and you can even watch TV or use your computer as a PVR. If your just playing games or even watching DVDs, all you'll need is a card with TV-out.

The All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro will run you back about $350. The regualar 9800 Pro is $250US. The Geforce 5900 is selling for about $200 while the 5950 sells for about the same as the 9800 Pro. If your willing to spend a little more, the X800 Pro and 6800GT are selling for about $430US. These last two are both exellent card. The 6800 Ultra is the best on the market but it's quite expensive.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

&&The Rig: &&AMD Athlon XP2000+ Palomino, ECS K7S5A 3.1, 1GB PC2700 DDR, Geforce FX5200 128mb, SB Live Platinum, 16xDVD, 16x10x40x CDRW, 40/60gb 7200rpm HDD, 325w Power, Windows XP Home SP1, Directx 9.0c with 66.81 Beta gfx drivers
