I have been using an HTPC for the last 3 years, but have not done major tweeking. Originally a P3 800 based system, I watch dvds and HDTV through the PC. I have only had xga projectors in my system, next week my Z2 (720 x 1280) is coming. I am worried that I will have problems.
My newly upgraded setup:
HTPC
P4 2.6C 800mhz fsb
Gigabyte mb w/ Intel 865P chipset w/ 8x AGP
512meg PC3200 ultra ram
Radeon 9000 or 9500 128meg video card
Maudio 24/96 sound card
Myhd MDP-100 HD tuner card
I play DVD's through Theatertek. I have downloaded powerstrip and tried it but have no idea what I am doing. I have never had success in the past changing scan rates or tweaking video. I dont understand how to get 1:1 perfect pixel timings or any of other settings I have read about.
First, What do I need to do to get this to work? Second, what can I do with this setup to maximize my viewing experience?
Thanks,
