Currently, I have a Q6600 with 4GB of DDR2 and an 8800GTS as a workstation and have recently acquired a large 1080p LCD.
Would it be possible to build a cheap HTPC and leave the decoding to the workstation? 1080p is a must.
I'm trying to build an HTPC as cheaply as possible for 1080p and would like to use my existing hardware to offset a lot of the work if possible. If this is not possible through a native ethernet connection, could I share cpu cycles over the network to accomplish this task?
Thanks in advance..
