I'm lookin for a good dvd decoder....I'm looking at a used one for $15 but it doesent have the cable. Is that a good price? oh well...

I'm pretty broke so I would love to get like a combo card with DVD and 3d acceleration....A voodoo 3 is what I have right now but I havent tried to play a DVD yet

System...
AMD K6 300 @376 @83FSB
96MB SDRAM
1.2 GIG CAVIAR WESTERN DIGITAL
RICOH 2X2X6 CD-RW
24X GOLDSTAR CDROM DRIVE
VOODOO3 3000 AGP
56K WINMODEM
235 WATT PSU
EPOX EP-58 MVP3C-M "SOCKET 7"MOBO


Will this system even handle DVDs???

The real Hollywood magic card is considered the best hardware decoder. I have a friend that has it and the image quality is outstanding. You can check out the spects at this link: http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/hollywood_plus.htm

The company sells it direcyt but I am shur you can find it chea[er on pricewatch like slacker85 said.
