    First HTPC to build, help needed ?

    The board I posted about has HDMI but I would prefer to use 5.1 speakers for sound, it wouldn't interfere with sound output on the mobo would it ?

    First HTPC to build, help needed ?

    Actually I am planning ahead for DigiTurk which is supposed to start HD broadcasting soon. Meanwhile I will be testing with Astra satellite. Also I think I have found the perfect motherboard http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/t-series/introduction.php?S_ID=182 Biostar TF7050...

    2900xt to FireGL V8600 Mod

    I was asking mainly because one is usually stuck with a certain OS when using modded drivers. Flashing on the other hand is OS independent. The clocks can usually be changed via Rabit and the card can be flashed with a modded bios for correct clock speed. One might lose certain functions though...

    First HTPC to build, help needed ?

    How about the two compared purely from a hardware-only point of view ? I have just read that ATI drivers do not support XvMC which means no offloading parts of MPEG2 decoding to GPU so Nvidia has the upper hand but on the other hand Abit doesn't have HDMI output. Would I lose signal quality if...

    I can also get these parts from a friend who is a reseller via trade, perhaps they would be more suitable for HTPC use since linux doesn't take advantage of the purevideo decoder I might as well use o/b graphics. Biostar TA690G or Abit AN-M2 coupled with a X2 4000+ Brisbane AM2

    First HTPC to build, help needed ?

    I am building an HTPC to connect to a Full HD 37" LCD TV. I am thinking of using MythTV with an appropriate linux distribution (one that includes pre-built binaries of MythTV). The HTPC will have a high def satellite pci card : DVB-S2 and a regular DVB-S card (both linux compatible)...

    2900xt to FireGL V8600 Mod

    would flashing the card with the FireGL bios work ?

    Even trade?

    Most 7900 GTOs can be OC'ed to 7900 GTX levels so you might want to keep that in mind. Not a bad trade if you ask me.

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    If you are referring to my post I forgot to mention the 30 bucks difference is based on the prices where I live which is Turkey. The GTS 640 is pretty expensive here and except from Sparkle all other branded GTS 640 are more expensive than the Sapphire HD2900XT hence further messing with my...

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    HD2900XT is like 30 bucks more expensive than the 640 MB 8800GTS (Sapphire and Sparkle Brands) and I am yet to decide between the two however I'm leaning more towards Nvidia because of issues like this --> Just check out the links at the bottom, it's from a review by the German website named...

    SLI me this batman........

    Read somewhere that the bios isn't different between cards that are identical except for having different amount of vram - like the GTS320 and GTS640... both should use the same bios.
