<br>hmm, maybe i'll have to look at my hardware again. maybe i have an<br>XP2300 :) i didn't think the proc had enough oomph to handle HD when<br>i bought it. maybe i was mistaken (especially since i've never tested
<br>it out).<br><br>Jay, what Vid Card did you go with? i've just been using the onboard<br>NVidia whatever on the Chaintech MoBo. are you using xvmc or the<br>power of the proc for HD playback?<br>maybe i'll just use the spare pc i have laying around to set up a
<br>multimedia fileserver...</blockquote><div><br><br>The card I bought isnt sold by NewEgg anymore, but it is an XFX GeForce 6200 256MB AGP 4x/8x (model PVT44AWANG). I wanted the AGP since I had the slot available. I have seen success stories with a variety of 5200/6200 cards. The one thing you dont get with the 6200 is a color OSD when using XvMC. Personally, that makes no difference to me.
<br><br>My full specs: <br> - Chaintech 7NIF2 w/512MB RAM. Athlon XP 2500+, 250GB HDD<br> - XFX 6200 AGP video card - DVI output to projector<br> - Soundblaster Audigy ZS sound card<br> - PVR-350 for SD recording<br> - HDHR for HD recording
