I have no idea where to begin looking for a CPU for my HTPC. I want to use the HTPC mainly for watching and recording TV and playback of DVD and music. It would be nice to be able to play some 3D games on it but it has no real priority.
There are huge price differences between available CPU's and I don't want to buy an expensive one and never use all it's capacity.
I would like to make my system as quiet as possible and really don't know what CPU's will work cooler than others.
Can anyone give me some directions where and how to look?
