Video Card advice for a HTPC

[Toryglen-boy]

been while since i asked anything here !!

am building a PC running MCE, and i need some advice for the best Gfx card to run on it, it doesnt need to have uber amounts of poke (although some would be nice, as i fancy playing Doom III on my 42" screen) I am looking for advice on a card that has good scaling/post processing abilities, and can handle Blue-Ray input, upscale DVD's (ffdshow?) and most importantly, can improve on the quality of DivX files etc.

many thanks for any replies

i think the ati 3xxx series will be your best bet if the main use is media.

try the 3600s as a minimum requirement or maybe a 3850 or 3870 if budget allows

thanks for the reply? what makes you say that? do they have good prost processing software for .AVI etc?
