That Nvidia Purevideo codec. Is it only for HDTV formats or does it help with other movie playback aswell. I've a 5200 (AGP) that I was going to use in a PIII/733/320mb RAM as PAL PVR in conjunction with some TV card (undecided with one). I know this is kinda a media PC question, but I thought more people would know about gfx pros and cons here.
 
Just realised its for 6 & 7 series cards only. Doh! The reason I asked was because the onboard gfx/CPU couldn't handle DivX playback with out being jerky. I was hoping the 5200 would improve it. Maybe its just too low a spec overall.
