[Lpspider]

okay, I'm going to buy a pc - and I'm presented with the below choices. What I want to know is if you think the below upgrades are needed and worth the extra cash. I would be using video/tv/audio/music on the computer a lot. Thank you.


Graphics card;

Integrated Intel(R) Graphics Accelerator,no TV-Out (defaut)

256MB DDR ATI Radeon RV370XT, TV-Out and DVI (+$170.00)

256MB DDR NVIDIA GeForce 6600, TV-Out and DVI (+$230.00)

Sound card:

Integrated Intel(R) High Definition Audio (defaut)


Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS for Media Center OS (+$65.00)

Audigy 2 ZS is a good card. I'm using it. :)

I have no idea about video cards though. But I believe Radeon stuff is better than Nvidia. ;)

btw, creative just launched Sound Blaster X- Fi (http://www.tuning.co.in/sound-blaster-x-fi-launched/)

Claimed to deliver better quality sound.

Do NOT get that radeon. Get the 6600 hands down 100%.
