is your CPU HT3 or HT2?

HT2 CPU + 785G video will not be fast enough for 1080i HDTV

HT3 CPU + 785G video *maybe* ok for 1080i HDTV

AMD Athlon II X2 250, 2x 3.00GHz, boxed

the 250 is HT3

HT3 CPU you will probably be ok, but that onboard video maybe a little borderline for HDTV 1080i, you should make sure that your system/case can accomodate adding a discrete video card if needed.

250GB alone won't hold much media/recordings/music.

Yeah, Thanks, this drive will be for system, music etc and recordings and all the recordings i will keep for a longer time , will be copied to one of my 1gb external(3.5) drives...(perhabs i make them intern, dont know)...


thanks for checking my future system

PS: is there a better onboard videocard which is realy strong enough for 1080i?

My advice is whatever onboard you go for, make sure you can upgrade to discrete gfx card if needed.
HT3 CPU + 785G might cut the mustard.
