[QUOTE="armandp, post: 351052, member: 71896"] Oke just installed the new videocard and i'm a happy camper. Deinterlacing isnt an issue anymore and I have 7.1 (LPCM) sound through HDMI for the time being. Didn't notice any other visual changes going from the IGP to the 4550 other than the effects of post-processing enhancements when watching TV. Playing progressive content is identical to me. I do however get the 512MB of ram back for my OS to use because i disabled the IGP completely. If you were wondering why i bought this particular brand card out of all the other ati cards: 1) it's passively cooled 2) it has a native HDMI output - i don't like the dongle approach because i don't have room for something sticking out the back of the HTPC :) First impression = gooood ;) [/QUOTE]
