Thanks Them more research I do I see there is a distinct advantage to running the 7600 due to it's hardware acceleration of mpeg-2 and it's deinterlacing of Purevideo over a 6600 or 6200.

HTPC: Asus P4P800-VM 2.6 GHZ P4 3 GB PC3200 Sata HD ATI Wonder 650 Tuner Time to upgrade the video. I have traditionally been a Nvidia guy so I am thinking something fan less or at least quite either: 6200 6800 HDTV isn't a big concern as I live at the base of a hill which is between me and the towers. No matter what I try (went as far as having an 8 bow tie antenna put up on a rotator and still got squat) I can't get OTA HDTV. So until cable cards or if I'm really lucky Directv get into the HTPC game I am SOL on HDTV. So for DVD playback and occasional analog TV what do you recommend? Thanks, Don
