Default HD Card for Elonex Media centre

Hi All,

I apologies if this thread has been run before, (i did look!) I'm looking for graphics card for a new build media centre.

I want it to play HD out put 1080i/p, it has to be low profile (artisan case)!

System stats:

3.4 ghz Pentium processor
P4M-915G/PD1 FIC motherboard
3GB ram
300GB sata Hard drive.
samsung sata dvd drive

Any ideas?????

All advice gladly taken!!!

Regards, Stupoo

Welcome to the forum stupoo.

I only know of the larger PCI cards like the Skystar HD for the HD channels but perhaps one of the others can help. If the worst comes to the worst, you may get an external card but that really defeats the object of having a neat media centre.

That 3.4 GHz processor is likely to be a bit tight for good HD video but keep your fingers crossed.

it'd all depend what you are using to decode, but any nvidia card that supports pureVideo HD would probably be a worthwhile investment.
