I have a KWorld ATSC 110 that works great except one of my frontends
has an nvidia 6200 that apparently doesn't have the chops to do HD
playback via XvMC. I've tried multiple versions of the driver and a
few different distros and it just won't keep up. So I'm looking for a
very specific recommnedation for a cheap nvidia AGP card that will
handle ATSC content. I don't really do any x264 content. Here's my
system info:

CPU:
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 6
model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.33GHz
stepping        : 5
cpu MHz         : 3324.021

coma_bug        : no

fpu_exception   : yes

lm constant_tsc up pebs bts sync_rdtsc pni monitor ds_cpl cid cx16
xtpr lahf_lm
bogomips        : 6653.10
clflush size    : 64

mobo: Intel D865GSAL

2GB DDR 400

nvidia card I have that doesn't work: PNY Verto GeForce 6200 Video
Card (VCG62128APB) which lspci says:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce
6200] (rev a1)

I'd like to be able to get this machine playing HD back without having
to replace the mobo/cpu/ram. I know i'm using a celeron and i should
be punished but what can i say it was cheap, and so am I.

Any tips would be great, including "i have that card and this is how i
got it to work"

Thanks,

David
