E-520 Video Upgrade Advise Needed
I want to be able to utilize my E-520 to store and run music, video, DVDs and network television on a new LCD television I've just purchased. The machine will never be used for gaming. But I'm totally new at this, so I need some advice.
Is the onboard video sufficient to handle this purpose? I'm kinda guesssing its not. In which case I'd like to find out which ePCI video card would be powerful enough to handle this. And which cards could I use without having to get into upgrading the power supply.

I use a 32" Viewsonic like this.It not only makes a great hi-def TV but an even greater computer monitor for tons less that what dudes are paying for 24" Dell flat panels.My video card is a 6800gs pci-e and for gaming on this big dog, I really need a beefier card to move beyond lower game settings.Since you're not a gamer, and you're into hd playback, I'd pick up an 8600gts which are supposed to sport superior hd playback.BTW what does a HD rom drive cost for a pc nowadays?Good LuckDale
