what card is good for DVD's?

[yellowfungus]

I know that all the top end Geforces and such can handle DVD's, but I'm building a computer for a friend, and was wondering if there was a cheaper solution than getting a geforce?

this computer won't need any 3d capabilities at all... is there a specialized card just made for DVD's, that I can get for less than i'd pay for a geforce?

on the other hand, if i just get onboard video (i810) on a say MSI mobo, would that be able to handle DVD's?

thanx

If no 3D capability is necessary, get a Matrox G450DH 16mb. They are available for as low as $71 on pricewatch. They have by far the best 2D quality and great DVD playback. Not even close in 3D, though.
