[QUOTE="cybrmage, post: 252728, member: 51680"] Your E6320 CPU should be able to handle HD 1080P just fine.... I am able to play back 1080P using an 8600GT paired with an Athlon XP3800+ (a much slower single core processor) just fine... Given the choice between Dual Channel/Intel GPU and Single Channel/nVidia GPU.... I would forgo a board with integrated video and find a similar board in the same price range with Dual Channel support without integrated video... The boards with integrated video have all tended to have poorer performance than similar boards without video. And if you are putting a system together specifically for HD playback, you want all the performance gains that you can get. [/QUOTE]
