[QUOTE="mickb, post: 15899, member: 13105"] Hi, I am new to MP and am in the process of setting up my first HTPC. I currently Have AMD XP2800+ CPU 512M Ram 1 x 200G & 1 x 160G Hard Drives Accent HTPC Case with IMon I have standard analog TV's (Pal Australia) and am looking for advice on: Tuners - Is there any benefit in going for HD digital cards. What I am hoping for is DVD quality on the TV. Video - Do I need a high end card to achieve DVD quality or are there configuration/resolution changes I can make to improve the screen picture with say a Radeon 7200. When I use the S-Video on the Radeon card to feed the TV the picture quality is not that good for pc use but is acceptable if I play a move with Power DVD, but still not DVD quality. Sound - I will be connecting the sound through my existing Onkyo home theater amplifier but my wife wants microphone inputs for karaoke. The Mic I have has a full siize plug. I look forward to the suggestions of the Forum. Thanks Mick :lol: [/QUOTE]
