Thanks a lot for that explanation neuron2. That explains a lot of things I stumbled over in the past.

Okay, so for my purposes as a transcoding scenario the 8400GS is more than fast enough that I would not gain any more speed increase from a faster card, right?
Is there anything more I have to watch out for like memory size or bandwith (DDR2, DDR3) or can I just go and buy any 8400 GPU based card I find?
