[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 74526, member: 11550"] I'd probably suggest changing the 6100 chipset to a 6150, which should cost only a small amount extra but also give you HDTV output as well as built in hardware for optimising DVD and HD playback. Then you won't need to buy an extra Gfx card and this will save you quite a bit of money (and also make for a cooler case). With some of the money you save you can buy a Huappage PVR150 from eBay and not have to face the heartache and frustration of trying to set MP up to use the Vivo option. As a bonus you can watch and record TV as well. Lots of people use the 6150 chipset with great results and as long as you don't plan on playing the latest games in full definition then you'll have a great system. The only other thing I would suggest is maybe an extra 512Mb RAM, but you should be fine and this is something you can add later if needed. [/QUOTE]
