I have an old AMD XP3200+ based system I used for an HTPC in the bedroom, using it to stream video from my main system via 10/100 wired network. Since going to HD on my main system, I find this old system struggles to play MKV (720p) content (I haven't even attempted actual HD content).
Suggestions for motherboard/cpu combination and video card to handle the 720p output for cheap would be appreciated. I am currently outputing to an analog television, but hope to add an HD television in the future (too few $$$ at the moment), so SD and HD output would be a nice plus. Thanks for the input.
