I've got a 780 board, 3 gigs of ram, Vista Home Premium and an X2-4600 that does video pretty well on my 42" Sony. I'm thinking about replacing the DVD drive with a BR drive but have a couple of questions....
1. Would I get the same video quality with a BR drive as with an off the shelf BR player? It would seem that the standards would be the same. I know I would need to upgrade my DVD software.
2. Does anyone make a short profile BR drive? I have a mATX case and drives with a deep profile get pretty cramped in there.
This of course is assuming that my 780G board, 3 gigs of ram and the X2 will handle it. At the time I bought the board the reviews said it handled BR pretty well with minimal CPU usage.
Thanks.
