I hope it's OK to jump into this thread. I'm currently choosing a new PC ( http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3380158 ). Should I be avoiding PCs with AGP slots and going for PCI-e instead? It sounds a bit like AGP is going a bit out-of-date and I'll possibly want to add a Graphics Card at some point.
Thanks,
Matt .
I am not sure that speed of processor will be adequate for full HD (1080 lines) material. With the right graphics card and software you can get the GPU to do some of the work - which will take the strain of the CPU, but even then you may not have enough oomph.pacoman said:my specs for my pc are 2.8ghz processer
512mb and 256mb for ram
40gb hard drive but i have a 160gb external hard drive aswell.
Im not sure what else it has like sound card etc.
so do you think if i got a better graphics card it would display hd movies ok?
So what does 4x mean?TeeDoubleUDee said:What does 4x mean?
I have an old AGP card in my old PC and was thinking about upgrading it but didn't know if 4x or 8x would OK in the slot (when my motherboard was new AGP was pretty new so I guess it is 1x!)
