really doubt that a win7 driver exists for that card... google shows the usual "beta" vista drivers... will have a looksie tomorrow in case I have a better one for you that I don't remember Bas

got a 5200 128mb here in a P4 3ghz HT and it fails on dxva decoding above 720p, 1080p gives 100% cpu usage so no hardware decoding.
if all else fails and know one else can help I have a card that might not be suitable for a Media centre (needs good PSU) its currently in a spare amd 2800+ pc, slow by todays standards but the VGA card more than makes up for lack of cpu.
Thanks for the kind offer my friend but I had to upgrade my mediacentre from a 5200 to the 6800 a couple of years ago as the cpu was getting flogged and it couldnt cope with higher video requirements as sardine also states.
Much appreciated though
@sardine
Awesome card my friend, I do have an uprated psu in my shuttle mediacentre as the 6800 also needs an additional 12v feed.
But I dont think I am going to be able to fit that beauty inside the case from a width and length point of view
Again your kindness is much appreciated.
Yup I doubt the x1950 would fit in a shuttle. It takes 2 backplate spaces and it's long. I can measure it tonight if you want to try squeeze it in.
Another option is to swap the x1950 with some here with a 6800 etc if they wanted the extra horse power in thier pc. The x1950 is a very underrated card much in line with the later hd3xxx and hd4xxx cards. Lack of dx10 turns people away. But fully windows7 aero compatible.
