|
 |
My friend gave me his PC and i will use it as a media center for my HDTV. But right now im running on the onboard card and i cant play 1080p HD mkv files, well i can but the sound is totally OoS. 720p works fine.
So i need a good AGP card (SM3), lattest not needed, i want a cheap one that will play 1080p and some games (Not lattest ones).
Thanks

Just found out that the Mobo have a PCI-E 1x and an AGP 8x slots
Should i get a PCi-E card instead of a AGP?
And if PCi-E is better, will any PCi-E cards will fit in that tiny slot??

yes x100. Decent AGP card is expensive as shit compared to a similar PCI-E card, just because they don't really make them anymore.

I just took a closer look at my PCi-E slot and its not an open slot, so only PCi-E 1x cards fit in there and the last one was made like in 2006...so im back to square 1 and need to buy an AGP card 
Does this drive will work with an AGP card??

the hell with lite on. Go with the award winner! I wouldn't trust that drive to be very effective as it's USB. The data Xfer on those suck ass and fast forwarding on HD and Blu ray takes a lot of PC bawls.

I have it, I love it, I will replace it if it ever dies. If you want, you can dish out the extra money and get the BD burner in it.
It plays dvds, HD-DVD's and Blu-Ray DVD's
I use it with cyberlink HD 6.5 with a firefly remote...mmmmm yum |
