No official word from the company that we can find, but
NVIDIA is allegedly going to bundle H.264 decoding software with their
GeForce 7600 series that surfaced last
month. Currently, the cards support MPEG-2 decoding, but the decoding software isn't supplied with the card.
Instead of shelling out an additional few bucks, if you can get H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (did we hit 'em all?)
decoding software for free, we're all for it. HDTV clearly isn't limited tothe television area, so it would be a wise
move for NVIDIA, and ATI for that matter, to keep pushing the envelope for their GPUs and cards.
