I downloaded some movie traillers to see how they came up on the HTPC, but unfortunately, it wont play them :( So, Im wondering if there's anything I can do that would make it capable. Obviously the GPU and the CPU are the culprits. Is it worth putting a higher-end agp card into it with a 2.4 ghz cpu? Or will I have to do both? Im thinking the priority will be the gpu (as the first step) and if that doesnt yield results then looking at cpu.
