ive been looking to build a hd htpc.......i have a dell xps laptop that has a 8400 in it and an hdmi out and i use it to play mkv files and for the most part it works but i get allot of problems the higher the resolution.. dvds play flawless... 720p play good and 1080p almost never play with out a problem.....
i have a dennon reciever with hdmi and a im looking to just build a hdhtpc that will only be used for downloading and playing movies...1080p needs to run flawless
which fanless hdmi video cards will do the job..(im not looking to upgrade anytime soon so i want it to do the job and a lil more to spare)
also how much ram and proccesing speed will i need ?.
and what is the importance of a tv tuner.. and which ones are recommended ?
ive built plenty of pcs i just want to understand how the video is decoded and exactly how much power i will need before i start building because i do not want to build somthing and get the same problems im getting with my laptop
also i would rather use xp since its not such a hog
