Not sure when that was posted, but I skimmed through it quickly and it looks like it's totally out of date. Here is a quote:
"'None of the AGP or PCI-E graphics cards that you can buy today support HDCP
[...] If you've just spent $1000 on a pair of Radeon X1900 XT graphics cards
expecting to be able to playback HD-DVD or Blu-Ray movies at 1920x1080
resolution in the future, you've just wasted your money [...] If you just
spent $1500 on a pair of 7800GTX 512MB GPUs expecting to be able to play
1920x1080 HD-DVD or Blu-Ray movies in the future, you've just wasted your
money'."
The truth is, all X1950Pro and all nVidia 8800-based cards are HDCP compliant. You can buy numerous models from the 7600GT and up that are HDCP compliant. In fact, even if you have a relatively new board that is not HDCP compliant, you can still play back HD DVD at full 1920X1080 resolution via VGA or component .
Old article, out of date, should close this thread.

Your sig is old and out of date....maybe you should be closed.
The file is dated and so are the accounts, so reading up on what has transpired will not "harm" anyone. Don't know why you have your panties in a knot.
