[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 685617, member: 75318"] Just to add my own recent experiences. I was using onboard ATI HD3200 it couldn't handle HD - I even overclocked it but it was still very poor. I bought two weeks ago off eBay, an ATI 5550 with 1Gb memory for just over £40. This has a small fan on it, which I cannot hear as the fans on the case drown out any noise this small one creates. I use this via HDMI to the TV, although the audio goes optically to the Sony Cinema unit from the motherboard audio out. The difference in viewing is like comparing apples and oranges. I really was pleasantly surprised by this simple change. Just checked on eBay (US) and the best price is $43. HTH. M [/QUOTE]
