[QUOTE="sdalberg, post: 141810, member: 48856"] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141051[/url] thats out of your budget? Here's the problem, if you have a D7 video card, you will have to do all of the D9 stuff (video decoding) in CPU, thereby taxing your CPU harder. Your CPU may or may not cope, but it will run hotter, and your fans will spin faster... Its a trade off, but I'd spend the $38 on an updated video card too. With a D9 video card, your CPU would probably be just fine. If you really don't want TV, you could just use an old xbox and run XBMC. I'm not saying thats a better solution, but if you have an Xbox, its probably cheaper. [/QUOTE]
