Hi

My ATI HD2400pro doesn't work with XBMC so I'm forced to buy another card. I've been offered a Nvidia Geforce 6200 128mb for a good price. I just wondered if anyone had one and if its handles XBMC well ?

Thanks,

Yep as long as your relying on CPU HD decoding.....

Hope it is a good deal... thats an old card now.... ;)

I got a AMD X2 4200, the card is £15 inc P&p ($22)

Sorry for the loooooooong URL... just leaving work... :laugh:

6800 Ultra 256Mb RAM - £1.25, 2 days to go. :grin: could be worth a bid?

Thanks for that but I'm actually looking for something passively cooled. As at the moment the majority of the noise from my PC emanates from the GFX card.

cheers

Before you buy anything, the HD 2400 should work fine for XBMC. It supports OpenGL 2.0.

It might support it but the AGP drivers are rubbish and they haven't addressed the openGL issue at all. I've installed tons of different drivers with no success :mad:
