Shuttle SN45g and which video card?
Thinking of buying a Shuttle SN45g - I already have a primary machine with
an ATI 9600 Pro for which I am happy with re. playing games etc. The shuttle will become a 2nd PC near to my TV, mainly for playing DIVX, MPEG etc. - I will be using a 2400XP processor in it and 512Mb RAM, 80Gb HDD. My question really is what AGP graphics card to buy to fit into it. I don't want to spend over £100 or even near that if I can help it. I am happy to stick with ATI cards (have been impressed so far with the 9600Pro I have) I'll need TV out obviously (as this will really be the only means of display coming from the Shuttle for me) but I am tempted to get something that will allow me to perhaps play the odd game or two as well ie. I have seen good prices on something like the 9200SE (around £30 !) and this has the TV out I need but what is this like compared to say the 9600 or the 9600 Pro ? Does anything less than the 9600 series do DX9 for example? Will the 9200 SE even be good enough for DIVX/MPEG playback (or does this relate more to how powerful the processor is) ??? Lots of questions! Andy |
