Recommendations for HTPC video card please.

After a lot of effort, I got my ATI 2400 HD series board to do what I wanted on Vista.
The Catalyst control panel's monitor cloning didn't work. I have a wide screen Dell monitor set at it's native 1680 x 1050. When I envoked cloning, the 1024 x 768 4:3 touch screen substitute monitor reported out of range.

I got a copy of UltraMon which refused to clone/mirror at all. However!, they posted a beta 3.0.3 ver for Vista users that does. It scales the original screen to fit the smaller one.

Will now order some touch screens.

UltraMon: http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/
Touch screens, 8 & 10 in.: http://www.gooddeals18.com/c=GfaNzz8udPAlK...creen__VGA.html

the problem with Ultramon is that this takes alot CPU power because the cloning / re-scaling is done per software.

That would probably explain why mouse trails are slow? Didn't check CPU usage.
