Not only does it look like my next generation system is going to cost an arm and a leg (AM2 CPU and mobo, DDR2 ram) but it looks a new graphics card will be needed and also a new monitor!

Current graphics cards not HDCP compliant:

remember thats only if you're planning to watch hd-dvd or blu-ray - neither of which will be widely available for a year or 2.. i think you'd be best off just getting normal stuff as in 2 years time you'll upgrade anyways (and the view of whats available/standard will be much clearer)
Good point. Probably would work out cheaper as well to get an HDTV and HD/Blue Ray player rather than going for a PC HD based system.
Yeah not really bothered with this to be honest. I'll almost certainly upgrade by next year :)
And there will be ways around HDCP soon enough :p
Plenty of ways to enjoy HD on your "old" tech without any crazy HDCP-ness
^ yep and we will all be made criminals for it too.
It could affect any downloadable HD content as well.Quote:
