[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 387484, member: 25562"] As for graphics - 1080i takes a serious amount of power. I'm not familiar with that chipset, but the general impression that I get from other folks is that Intel integrated graphics aren't going to cut it. If it were me, I'd reduce to a dual core or slightly slower processor and use the money you save to buy the HD4550 card you have listed. That card seems to be a favorite around here and you would certainly not have any problem getting 1080i. I use XP Pro for the reasons PD mentioned and it doesn't have onboard MC so nothing to disable. Since it sounds like you'll be networking, you may want to look into it. [/QUOTE]
