Yea, I was looking at the FX5200 and the MX440 as they are about the same
price and both have hardware MPEG2. I'll probably go with the FX5200
since it's newer unless I hear otherwise from anyone.

Well there is a chance I'll be pulling a P4 3.2 ghz w/ mobo out of my #$*
for $200. If so, guess where that's going. This'd be one monster of a
box. Though re-encoding to MPEG4 in lightspeed would be nice :) If that
falls through however, I'm just trying to keep my costs down. I'll
probably go with the Athlon XP 2100+ for price reasons if the 650 doesn't
work out.
