[QUOTE="snewman, post: 39192, member: 18208"] Hi, I've been doing a lot of research on a motherboard to use for a HTPC, and I really like the nForce430 motherboards with built-in 6150 graphics. It also has SATA II, HD audio with SPDIF out etc etc - good stuff. Now from looking at the nVidia website ([url]http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html[/url]) it seems that the 6150 can handle all of the PureVideo functionality except for Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing for HD content (whatever that means). What I want to know is - does this board, and most importantly the 6150 GPU, cut the mustard for a HTPC? I am going to be watching HD DVB broadcasts, DVDs and XVid movies, all upscaled to the native resolution of my 37" LCD (1366 x 768). Will this board be good enough? Or am I better off going for a non-integrated motherboard and a nVidia 6600 or AT X1300 video card (at higher cost)? -- [/QUOTE]
