[QUOTE="chrisworkman, post: 817053, member: 88440"] No need for a gaming card as this will be a dedicated HTPC. Also, years back when I built my current HTPC I had an issue with the few ATI cards I tried where once the display went to sleep the card wouldn't "wake" the display when you moved the mouse or accessed the remote. So everytime the display went to sleep I had to restart the machine. There were a few workarounds that I found, but the whole thing seemed to be tedious. Is this still an issue with ATI cards? At the time I was under the impression this quirk was exclusive to ATI cards and not Nvidia. Thanks for the input! EDIT: A quick search revealed this card on sale: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187121[/url] I only mention it because it's on sale and has a lifetime warranty. However, I am unfamiliar with Sparkle. I just feel like $39.99 after rebate is to good to be true ;) EDIT 2: This one seems to be quite nice. I've owned several Gigabyte products and have never had any problems. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125346[/url] [/QUOTE]
