I have that exact video card running on my fairly new (less than two months 
old) mythTV box.  It works fairly well, though I haven't been able to get 
XvMC to really work with it.  It's on my to-do list to find out why not. 
(XvMC runs at the same CPU load as plain old Xv, and completely fails under 
mplayer.)

FWIW, OpenGL on that card is slower than molasses at the north pole. 
Completely unwatchable using the OpenGL painter; sticking with qt for now. 
(also on my list of things to do.)

Before anyone asks, yes I'm using the nvidia drivers, not nv.  Running under 
ubuntu hardy beta, fully patched/updated as of a few days ago.
