In case you haven't noticed i've already asked enough questions for htpc which i'm am going to build. Thanks to your resposnses i have a motherboard capable of video processing and an amd processor both relatively cheap. What I need to know and this is the main thing i dont understand is how do i connect it to a tv. The tv it will be connected to will be an old 32" crt type one... the connection to it will most likely have to be scart because the speakers are built into the tv and it doesn't support hd. All i need to know is will the graphics capabilties of this motherboard be able to support this screen during dvd playback etc...
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK
and the main question..how do i connect it to the tv for both sound and video via scart or composite...thanks for all your help
