Okay, I see where you're coming from now.

In that case I think something like an X1600pro is perhaps a wee bit 
overkill.

As for MediaShout and SongShow Plus, I'd definitely recommend you 
investigate a couple of Open Source alternatives - they do exist (I 
think OpenSong was one of them).

Seriously. For all the features that MediaShout has - and are never 
actually used, I think you'd be better placed to forge ahead with an 
Open Source solution.

A gfx card for half the price would easily do what you're after.
