Replacing all Firewire/Videocard with just a new nvidia GeForce 9400 mainboard? (1 Viewer)

[MoPhat]

Hi, i want to put my ati video card and my usb/firewire card otside of my htpc.
i the same procedure i replace the main system harddisc with a new 2.5" hd.

there is now a question, is the live tv quality (poer dvd 8) similary like the ati 3600 one?

i have choosen this mainboard GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Specification - GA-E7AUM-DS2H (rev. 1.0) has all onboard bild in even a 7.1 soundcard for all HD sound streams from blu-ray

Knows anyone
- is the picture same, better quality- deinterlacing?
- can i use the hdmi and the optical sound interface at the same time > TV & surround receiver?
- is there any S3 standby issue?

thx for your sugestions

You should read the manual ... On my GA-MA78GM-DS2H it works fine. But you have to switch the output-device. HDMI ORE Optical. Both on the same time is not possible.
The other points, I don't know.
