[QUOTE="jay_galway, post: 110827, member: 30021"] Hi I currently have a Dell XPS M170 with 2 gig RAM, Nvidia go GTX7800 card and I am contemplating using this for my HTPC. I have 2 problems 1. I want to do TV recording and playback, and I dont have a TV card. 2. I want to be able to output DTS and 5.1 surroundquality sound. Now the Laptop only has 1 slot for a pc card upgrade, so possibly a 5.1/DTS sound card. But I will still be faced with the TV card issue. It doesnt have firewire either, so maybe someone knows of a decent TV recording card that is usb? :) Or do you think I should scrap the idea altogether and build a rig? [/QUOTE]
