All I want is smooth playback with VRM9 at 1080i and perhaps 960p...my current integrated 6150 stutters like hell, and this may be an inexpensive solution.

I also might like hardware acceleration of h264 and perhaps vc-1...

That's exactly why I was asking about it...I think it's all I would need. I never game...all I want it for is HD.
