Hi all,
I am in the budget planning stage for a HTPC. I want to know what is the minimum requirement to have one set up that will improve the PQ. I have an older PC which is a intel cereon 300a with 128MB RAM OC to 450Mhz, 8 GB HD... Will I be able to use it as HTPC (performance issue)? I know I need to get a ATI Redion video card with DVI output and a 16x DVD ROM. What other hardware do I need other than these ?
Which Redion card should I get ? By reading from AVSFORUM, someone use Redion 7500. Is there any benefit by going to 8500, 9000 or 9700 pro ?
With HTPC and Powerstrip S/W, will I be able to get 720P or 1080i from my PJ when watching regular satellite channels
Many thanks in advance...
