The New Tech - View Single Post - OnBoard GPU Enough for XVID playback on tv?

If I purchase a small and cheap system from dell.com for like $250 with on board integrated graphic chip will that thing be enough to play back movies these days?
I know a few years ago they would not have been good enough and specially not for fullscreen. How about now?

An alternative is to remove one of my pci cards from the pc and put it into the celeron 2,8 system and use that tv out - surely the nvidia fx 5200 with 256mb + tv out will handle it without a problem.

Please let me know if you have any experience with onboard video playback.
