[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 68404, member: 14004"] Hey, whats so pathetic about your current setup? It's almost identical to mine! :lol: If you're only using SPDIF, dont worry about an internal soundcard. all it will do is take up more space, generate more heat, and force another set of drivers to be installed. The TI4200 would be the first thing on my chopping block. if you're going the full HD route, then like Elf said, a 6600 is the lowest spec GPU that will handle full purevideo acceleration - and if you're running a 2500+, you'll need all the extra horsepower you can get for HD. Other than that, just grab an OTA HD tuner that is supported by MP, and you should be good to go. My setup is almost identical, except I have a 5200. HD content is ok - the box can playback 720p and 1080i content just fine, its when you start moving into the 1080p catagory that I start getting stutters and syncing issues with the audio/video [/QUOTE]
