Hi there,

I know this probably should have been posted in this thread but for some reason it's locked!!??
Anyway, sold my ATI HD2400 pro... nvidia Gefoce 9600 GT arrived yesterday (silent model)  - works great...BUT too bl00dy tall for my case - DOH! ...so back it goes (maybe)

My options are eaither a 9600 GT with fan (would rather have passive) ...or 9400 GT (passive)...????

Anyone used a 9400GT to decode H.264 (NZ freeview) using hardware acceleration??? ....The 'RA' has just come back from my supplier, but I'm still undecided which way to go next...

cheers - yer help is appreciated

it will work perfectly fine, the 9400GT is on par with a 8500GT i think.
