Actaully - forget it. I'm sure you know what you're doing. For the record I've used MediaShout 2 and 3 on a "crappy" 128MB FX5200 (low-end 64-bit version). Only issue we had was to remember to use MPEG2 encoded media files for the h/w decoder on the card. Apart from that, the card handled everything like a breeze.
