I'm interested in upgrading my current PC to a HTPC and need to use it as my regular PC as well as my HTPC. I'm assuming that this is not an issue with Radeon cards and can use dual monitor support without quality loss.
I'm also assuming I can take the RGBHV output of the Radeon card and use the pass thru on the MyHD card and then use a DVI to RGB D-15 breakout cable to my CRT computer monitor. Is there anybody else running the output of the Radeon thru the MyHD card pass thru?
I would also like to use an s-video output to play DVD's in my bedroom when needed. (The computer is in the bedroom)
It is my understanding after talking with ATI that the 9800 All in Wonder is the same as the 9800 XT, that the XT version is simply overclocked, overcooled, and has different resistor quality for the increased heat.
What are the differences between the various 9800 flavors. I'm already assuming I will get the ATI 9800 Pro, XT, or All in wonder, but which one?
I'd like to know about Sage TV or at least have that potential. I definitely would like an S-video output because I also have a regular 36 inch NTSC TV I can play regular resolution DVD on... may as well swing an S-video cable to it!
I need to run a monitor and my CRT projector: both RGBHV. I assume I'll use the DVI breakout cable for my monitor in my bedroom (there is also an NTSC TV in there)
Do people still take off the high frequency filters? Who here has modified their card and does it make a visible difference? If so, can I do the mod or should I have someone else do it (who does it?)
Thanks,
Chris
