    Ok, so now i have a Go7600 on my laptop and an X1900GT on my desktop. Though i don't intend to watch Blu-ray or HD DVD, i still want to try those fancy stuffs to see if there's a difference. I've downloaded the AVIVO decoder, and honestly, i can't see any difference when playing a MPEG-2 movie. Same thing with Purevideo decoder, i installed it, play a DVD, and i look pretty much the same. And a strange thing is, after i installed purevideo decoder, ffdshow looks like crap. Then i installed Nero Showtime, and it looks wonderful, but ffdshow is still like crap. Finally, i installed WinDVD, and try to play the same clip simultaneously on both programs. Nero ended up the same as ffdshow. Did i somehow mess up my video codecs?
    And by the way, what is the correct way to use Purevideo and AVIVO? (nVIDIA Forceware doesn't recognize my Go7600, i'm using laptopvideo2go mods)

    I think I once read a benchmark between AVIVO and PureVideo, search the internet, you might be able to find what tools to use.
