[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 156709, member: 14004"] If you use FFDshow then this is true, but if you use FFDshow tryouts, then you can enable things like hardware deinterlacing which will dramatically increase the visual quality without adding to the CPU load, and without using the purevideo codec. petzlux's point about H.264 and VC1 decoding is also correct. many onboard solutions do not offload this processing from the video stream. Also, if you use your HTPC for light gaming or emulators, sometimes a dedicated videocard can provide a greater benefit then an onboard solution. Remember onboard solutions share your system RAM for their use, which means less dedicated ram for your main applications If MP is the only thing you use on your system, then an onboard solution is just fine. Remember that a HTPC is built differently then a regular PC. in the HTPC arena less is always better. :) [/QUOTE]
