Mpeg hardware decode is actually not very useful these days. If you need it
then you can get it on the low end via boards open source, but on a P4 or
Athlon64 its hardly useful and most boards just provide scalers and colourspace
conversion which actually is the important stuff

The R300 3D is getting pretty decent, its unfortunate that ATI no longer
help in Linux 3D and while various people have speculated that Xbox2 being ATI
has a lot to do with it, but afaik nobody has shown that to be the case, or
had a sane explanation from ATI.
