I have an HTPC running off a G41 chipset, it has onboard video w/ HDMI.
Proc is a e6400 (or something similar)
8GB DDR3
120GB Samsung 840 ssd
Will this be sufficient to run HD media? Some of the files are high quality blu-ray rips that can approach 20GB in file size.
The reason I'm curious is that the motherboard only has 1 PCIe slot I can use, and I have to choose between my discreet video card (HD 4250 fanless - works great in HTPCs), or my new ASUS Xonar DSX PCIe sound card. I have sufficiently good speakers to warrant the sound card, but if the onboard video won't cut it, I'd rather use the graphics card and be able to watch ALL my content.
Thoughts?
