Do video cards make a noticeable difference in movie watching?

Question by n4rumi: Do video cards make a noticeable difference in movie watching?
Im buying a dell (http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DXPS400F1E&s=dhs) and it comes with a video card ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory 128mb, i was wondering if there is any noticeable difference if i only use this to watch movies. Because Right now my computer is running a Radeon 9200SE 128mb and i cant see any difference compared to anyone else. even a 300$ video card. Is it just me? does this really affect movie watching?. And the same about Audio cards. I have a Sound blaster 5.1 and dont know if its worth upgrading to a THX sound card. would there be noticable difference?

There is no difference between any graphics cards made in about the last five years or so unless the video you are trying to watch is in high definition. As for the sound card, it’s only as good as the speakers you’re plugging into it.
