[QUOTE="petsa, post: 275746, member: 29962"] Hi bob808, The things that comes to my mind are: - Consider what type of link you will have to the client, i.e. wireless vs wired. Since the bitrate is much higher with HDTV you have to make sure a wireless link can handle this. - When deciding on CPU vs gfx card for the client you may want to consider a fan-less gfx card that can do HW acc since then you can cut down on the spec for the CPU. I'm not sure which solution generates less heat but you surely need a powerful CPU to do HDTV/h264 decoding and if you have a choice of gfx card this may be the way to go. Having said that I'm not sure an AGP card is fast enough to do HW acceleration/decoding. How about PCI-E? It would be more future-safe as well. /Peter [/QUOTE]
