Is it real-time HD decoding?If you don't plan on gaming then there's no need to spend money on a good 3dcard like 3850.
Get the 8400GS....19 dollars after rebate and full HD decoding.

And if it is, how much of that's done by the GPU?
My guess is a lot (probably most) of the HD decoding will be done by the CPU.
Or if it is done by the GPU, it's not done in real-time.
The 8400 and 8500 cards are weak compared to the 3850.
And come on, the 3850 isn't that expensive. And it's much better in all aspects.
