[QUOTE="SwingSultan, post: 231663, member: 53218"] if you want to keep things silent then you should consider an amd system based on a n athlon x2-be (45w tdp) and an asus m2a-vm motherboard. the athlon produces less heat than the c2d and which is more important produces less heat when there is no stress on the cpu. the same goes for amd motherboards. the onbaord graphics card supports hd decoding at 720p. if you already have the motherboard i would recommend a pentium dual core. due to its smaller cache its also a lot cooler than the c2d processors and you wont recognize the missing cache while watching videos. watching tv shouldnt be a problem even with something slow like a via c7 [/QUOTE]
