Great post. I'm considering configuring a W2k PIII PC to operate my G15, Vigatec Dune, etc. What is the optimum combination of hardware and software for a no-holds-barred HTPC? Please include suggestions for sound cards that output as many flavors of Dolby Digital & DTS as possible, and video cards which output, record (a la Tivo), and process (on a level close to or exceeding the Dune if possible) HDTV, NTSC,and DVD (480i & p).


Thanks!

Your best bet is to proceed directly to the HTPC forum. There are a couple of great threads available one primarily by excel. If not avtive within the last couple of days then do a search there. Theres tons of into there!
