      Isn't this quite nice for people wanting to build a HTPC?

        Don't think it will handle HD that well, but if you are looking for a major budget card...

            I'll care about HD WIR, and when I can afford it. Oh, and I'm not building a HTPC because I can't afford it. Damn.

                        Like the guy that came into my shop with a note where he had written down the errormessage he wanted me to fix.

                        In plain swedish it said that his virus definitions was to old and to press "OK" to uppdate em.

                        Not finding anything hard to understand in the text I read it out aloud just to hear if it sounded weird.

                        After hearing me reading what he wrote down from his own computer screen, he suddenly says:

                        "oh, so that's what I'm suposed to do, thanks"

                        Plucks the note out of my hand and leaves...

                          I have a G450 sitting here doing nothing, will it run Vista with all the bells and whistles?

                          I'm gonna try it, otherwise it'll be the parhelia that goes in that machine.

                            Not even a Parhelia will run Vista with all the bells and whistles.

                            The Aero UI requires full DX9 drivers with Shader Model 2.0.

                              you're right, I have the Parhelia in the machine now and though it installed, there is certainly no improvement in the look.
