Steve... I'm assuming that you mean you can play HDTV with one of those
processors and an Nvidia card correct? :-P I still couldn't get my ATI
to play HD worth a hoot, and went out and purchased a cheap Nvidia
6200OC tonight. I've gotten HD to play back fairly smoothly now, but
have a bit of playing to get done.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/6/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steve Adeff</b> <<a href="mailto:adeffs@gmail.com">adeffs@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
