[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 384160, member: 85629"] thanks frank. Clearly a phenom is a more expensive option than a discrete gfx, hopefully I can find discrete gfx at the low end of the market that will do the job. [I have no bias ati vs nvidia, except that obviously with current config, sticking ATI would mean no need for the hassle of total driver change. To get a -e phenom it seems I have to buy the 9150x4 which is 140GBP :( Cheaper phenoms seems to means no 65w option :growl:, and I am happy with the 4850e cpu in the tasks needed to run mediaportal, so prefer to stick with it if possible. from your description I'm not 100% sure what configuration you are using for 1080i? are you saying the 9400GT will do vector adaptive on 1080i content in the gpu (hardware accell) with Pdvd8?
