Swapping in my GF 6200 for a GF4MX makes a tiny bit of difference, as does 
upgrading to 7174 (from 6629), but not enough that it matters to get working 
HDTV playback. After swapping out my Athon XP 1800 for a 2600, I've got 
perfectly smooth HDTV, both 720p and 1080i w/kernel deint. So obviously, cpu 
matters a whole lot more than whether you're running a GF4MX or a GF 6800 
Ultra.
