[QUOTE="Waltz, post: 61817, member: 10616"] Direct3D is a part of DirectX. The graphics chip works with DirectX 9 installed and can run DX9 software, but it doesn't support all the DirectX 9 features. Since MediaPortal uses some of them, it runs much faster when the chip offers hardware acceleration for these functions. With PC slot, do you mean a PC Card slot, also known as PCMCIA? I'm sorry, you cannot put another graphics card in there. Using an old notebook with broken display as a media center PC is an interesting idea. But I'm afraid you will not be able to run MediaPortal flawlessly on this system. - Waltz [/QUOTE]
