    Similar price on ebay

    If you've got a video card from the last few years and use that to decode the videos is there any advantage to using this?

    • Mikinoz on 16/05/2011 - 17:17

      This is for a laptop, not a desktop.

      No point if you've got a modern GPU. It's mostly for the Atom-based netbooks using Intel GMA950 and GMA3150. The GPU can't do hardware decoding for modern formats, and the CPU isn't fast enough to handle that by itself.

    It would seem people are using these cards (maybe the better model BCM70015) to get full 1080p playback in XBMC on the AppleTV.

        Ship via DHL ONLY US$20.00, not $40.02

    You can whack one in the original Apple TV too (at the cost of the wireless card).

    EDIT: Duh, mentioned already.

  • A Banana4scale on 16/05/2011 - 21:17

    good for appleTV, meh for other stuff though

  • Catchalldeals on 17/05/2011 - 11:14

    so what's this for?? Would this work in a DELL Inspiron 6400? or Proliant Microserver?

    • Mikinoz on 17/05/2011 - 15:40

      as long as they have a mini pci express slot, it could work, i dont have enough time to explain what its for.

      Although does remind me when we had hardware coding for dvd's
