Want to turbocharge your PC's video performance? The Asus ATI Radeon HD3450 graphics card works magic on the cheap. Though an entry-level card, it comes with an HDMI output and other bells and whistles. It lists for $49 (already a steal), but NewBiiz has the ATI Radeon HD3450 on sale for just $19 (after a $10 mail-in rebate).

Perfect for media-center PCs, the card's HDMI port offers easy HDTV connectivity. (It also has VGA and DVI ports.) It can produce resolutions up to 1920x1200, meaning it'll deliver full 1080p video. Plus, it's HDCP-compliant, so if you have a Blu-ray (or even HD DVD) drive in your PC, you're good to go. The card's onboard video decoder takes the load off your CPU. Oh, and because it's a half-height card, it should fit nicely into even the most cramped media-center cases.

Sweet, wish this had been out when I got the 2600 pro for my media center.

i recommend this strongly. i use the visiontek 3450 that i picked up for 30 bucks last month, highly recommended for HTPC.
