Well I should have held off then. I ordered the card before seeing topfs2's reply. Doh! I will report back when it arrives tomorrow.

The card works for me as long as you force it to use tripplebuffer, i have written in a thread on how to do it so search my posts.
hope you get it working.

Bit off topic but maybe someone can explain this?
I tried the windows XBMC (XBMC_PC.EXE) with the runmefirst.bat and video was perfect speed!!! Only problem was it was black and white on all videos.
So I downloaded the latest t3ch release and the latest XBMC.exe revision. Was in colour but still same speed as the linux one.
My question is. Is there anyway to get the build that was working with XBMC_PC.exe to run in colour?

XBMC_PC.exe has nothing to do with the linux port. It is a DX port that jmarshall did awhile back to assist in skinning/scripting. You want the win32 linuxport compile which has its own forum.
Also, please don't thread jack. Just start a new one so a mod can move it to the correct place.

Sorry for taking so long to get back but the card didn't fit my case so i had to make a plan.
Anyway all up and running now with a fx 5400 nvidia card.
ITS working for 720p content!!! 70%-80% Cpu usage. Really chuffed!
Had to enable tripplebuffer in xorg.conf as topfs2 suggested but no other problems.
So to recap my system
p4 2.8ghz
512mb ram
nvidia fx 5400
PLays 720p fine! aven't tried 1080p but i know that is going to work.
Awesome! Thanks for everyones help and to the Devs. XBMC with HD is untouchable.
