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 Claimed to deliver better quality sound. Regards, Tuning
