That would certainly be my main reason for investing in a card. However, and although my PC is over a year old now, it encodes to MPEG2 pretty darn quick and the matrox card would insignificantly boost that speed. Given the price of the card, I'd stronglt urge you to hunt out a demo rig so u can see for yourself what you'll be getting. Just don't ask me where you'll find such a rig LOL!
