After looking into it a bit, it seems that in terms of CUDA cores and clock
speed, a 9500GT is essentially equivalent to my now-defunct 8600GT.  But the
kicker is that you can get a 9500GT that's fanless, which is huge for me
(the 8600 was really loud when it was getting a workout, which makes it
annoying in the mythtv-frontend role).  Plus it's only $44.  Can't beat that.
