It seems you can only get it bundled with a TV tuner. But you can also get a TV tuner without it. So, is it like a separate PCI card or something with a hardware encode/decode chip on it?
I klik the "help me choose" link and read the Video Xcelerator tab and read the footnote at the bottom and I see "Comparing conversion time and CPU utilization for a 10 minute HD MPEG-2 video file to MPEG-4 format on Intel® E4400 processor based XPS 420 systems with and without a Dell Xcelerator? card."
Maybe it's a card?
Very often, the Help Me Choose information is incomplete and even inaccurate. I was wondering if anyone has a hands-on experience with it and can comment on whether it is worth it and/or can be found from a third-party seller.
