Re: Home Video Server?

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Tricky one.  the only reason I would go for the radeon version is for the
"latest and greatest" factor: the drivers have more development
life left in
them, and should get much better....

At this level, I would probably go for the full ViVo version. when it was
300 quid I wouldn't have spat on it, at 130 you can't go wrong.
