[QUOTE="kszabo, post: 292019, member: 61646"] If you want a silent HTPC with low energy consumption, you can take a GFX with an ATi HD3450 chip. They are cheap (ca. 40 €), almost always passively cooled, have integrated HD Audiocontroller and HDMI-Adapter, support 1080p/i h.264 hardware decoding. If you want to play computer games, this would be not enough. AFAIK the fastest ATi is the HD3650 which can be passively cooled. Like this: [url=http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=8&l3=637&l4=0&model=2120&modelmenu=1]ASUSTeK Computer Inc.[/url] But mote GFX power is = more energy consumption (= more case fan speed = more noise) The nVidia stuff I don´t know too well.
