Hi guys,

going to try again to get Freeview to work again on my computer. Need to upgrade my video card. So, will a 256MB Nvidia 8600GT work? I know that the 8600GT is meant to work but is the 256MB enough or should i buy a 512MB 9500GT instead?

thanks

A 8600GT will work fine. I've only ever used an 8500GT.

Just be aware that the 8600GT will not work with Media Portal if you had any ideas about running that. It seems to have turned into a bit of a resource hog.
