Currently , I'm using e8400 Build-XP 32Bit, DDR2 -PC-8500 2x1GB, Gt-240 DDR5 512 ( Does very well @ 25GB movies, Samsung 700GB 7500-RMP HDD .. Money Issues are a problem .

    ATI builds cards with nvidia chipsets now? You need nvidia if you want CUDA support in DVDFab, which is highly recommended. The card series is not that important. I have a HP notebook with a low-end (GT-230M) card that works great. One of the 400-series Fermi cards would be better and probably faster. My thought would be to get whatever nvidia card you can afford. Others may have different advice. With that CPU you will probably find that software encode or decode settings in DVDFab work as fast or faster than the CUDA settings unless you get a high-end DDR5 video card.

      Here's a good deal on a GTX 470 or at least the cheapest I could find, I ordered one and should have it next week http://www.antonline.com/p_Asus--ENG...D5-_812885.htm

        Yeah even a geforce gtx 260 core 216 would do you good, my compression times are around 1 to 2 hours so technically you should get faster times with a faster card, with all things being perfect.

          With this chip, your 240 card will do just fine. You're good with 240 and you need nothing else.
