    How do I know if my DVD player upscales to HD quality?

    So I recently got a 1080i HDTV, and I was wondering if my DVD player does the so called "upscaling" or "up converting." I have a Toshiba SD-310V DVD player and a Philips 615 DVD recorder. Does either one upscales to 780p\1080i? Or do I have to purchase a new one?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum is a good sound card. How is the card itself? How is it comparing to the Value cards which are $100+ cheaper? I'll probably buy a 6 month old card from another forum for cheap if it's good.
