I am about to buy a Sony XBR4 52" tv with an HD resolution of 1920x180 (1080p). I want to be able to play high definition (blu-ray) movies and tru HD content from my computer to the TV. I want it to run through HDMI on the TV, so i need to upgrade the video card to one that outputs to HDMI. I don't need anything for gaming, i just want the card to be able to play the full HD 1920x1080 content without any stuttering, artifacts, or anything like that. The computer is a dual core pentium with 1gb of memory and a SATA HD. I was looking at getting the ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO that is on sale at Compusa. Will this card be able to handle the full 1080p resolution without problems? Also, what is the best OS to handle this, should i get windows xp media center (i hate vista) or should i try one of the linux variants with mythtv?
Thanks!
Thanks!
