Hi,
I know im going to get some sarcasm, and some links to the search page but I have searched for last two or three days now and cant find the answers, either because no one has asked them or I'm being stupid.

First:
Whats the deal with media center remote controls? I'm knew to them and their ways.  Do they all match a standard? how different are chipsets etc?  I ask because I want to setup Linux MCE (which btw looks amazing guys, im well excited and will be helping friends get them setup if this goes well) on a budget then get better parts over time.  The remote Im looking at is

TBH the first one to me is nicer as its slimmer.  I have looked for a HCL and can't find one that goes into much detail.  Is there any way to find the chipset from this info (i know its a long shot but sometimes people amaze me with little tricks).


Second
I know Nvidia are much more linux friendly, but I have an old ATI Radeon with mATX mobo and bits laying around which would be nice to use (as they are all free), if not its a new graphics card, which will be PCIe, which will need a new CPU, looking at £110 ish.

makes the Radeon 7000 sound like an easy option, if not has anyone any bookmarks to a nice guide?

Any info or links would be great.

PS - Nice work on the Wii remote project, sounds brilliant and would be amazing to use !!
