[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 50367, member: 17886"] Hi there, I'm just planning to buy some new parts for my htpc to make it future-ready, i.e. ready for DVB-S2 and H.264. ATM I have an Athlon XP 1800+ with a NVidia 6200 AGP. This should not be sufficient therefore I suppose... I'm planning to buy a Pentium D 805 (2x 2,6GHz - easily overclockable to 3.2 GHz and with some more cooling even to 4,1 GHz - see [url]www.tomshardware.de[/url] - unfortunately german...) and a GForce 6600 PCI-E. NVidia says you need a 7600GT to get all out of PureVideo regarding HD decoding. Would this configuration be ready for future HD videos / tv? Is it worth to spend that much more money for a passively cooled 7600GT instead of a 6600? Thanks, /Michael [/QUOTE]
