What country do you live in?  My understanding was the 430 is not
ideal for US broadcasts and VDPAU highest settings.  If that is not
the case, can you tell me what card you have and how many slots it
takes up (i.e., if the heatsink and/or fan would prevent me from using
the PCI slot next to the video card)?
