    I have a ASUS P4P800 Delux Board with P4 3.4E Processor and 512 x 2 of Corsair 3200

    I want to connect this PC running XP MCE to a 1080p HD television to play 1080p movies.

    This is all Microsoft says about it.

    Optimum Configuration
    (to play 1080p video with 5.1 surround sound)

    Windows XP
    Windows Media Player 9 Series
    DirectX 9.0
    3.0 GHz processor or equivalent
    512 MB of RAM
    128 MB video card
    DVD drive
    1920 x 1440 screen resolution
    24-bit 96 kHz multichannel sound card
    5.1 surround sound speaker system

    For either scenario, an AGP4x-based NVIDIA or ATI video adapter card with the most recent OEM driver updates is also recommended.

    Well, what advice are you asking for?
    You don't say what video card you are using currently?

    LOL! :D :D

    Radeon 9500 128 MB

    I'm between a rock and a hard place because most of the Hot Rod Cards are PCI Express and I'm limited to AGP 8X

    This card seems to be working ok but I was thinking I might be leaving something on the table.

    I was hoping someone had "been here done that" and knew what would work well.
