they have bluray decoder cards (PCI i believe) at can haedware decode bluray, so its a good thing to have to jack up the video quality, you can get it running 1080p no prob (even without bluray Wink)

REALLY!?!?!  Cheesy where could I find such a beautiful product? Newegg.com maybe? or perhaps Tigerdirrect.com? you sure it's PCI? because I hope it isn't PCI-Ex because I only have AGP =[ The funny thing is though iis that I have Iron Man on my pc in 720P Blueray  Cheesy and my pc reads it just fine =] but the thing is, It was in WMV Formatt. does that mean it's still blueray or just HD?

its a compressed blur-ray movie, its like comparing a dvd-rip to a dvd original. so the bit rate isnt as high, so lower end players(pc's, etc.) can play it. same for full hd, they both run at teh same res but a .mkv version will be running way less bitrate so a midrange pc can play it better. also hd media players are starting to link up with nvidia ant ati cards to handle full hd so you dont have to go out there and buy that nice core2quad.

He he sweet but since I'm running Vista I'm going to have to upgrade my ram at least.Now that I'm goint to be using 3D modeling programs I want at least 3G of ram. cause 1 doesn't really cut it for normal use. It's just too slow. then again I may need a new mobo too one with PCI-EX so I can further upgrade my video card.I'm basically maxed out. only two other video cards I can get I believe. I think the Nvidia 7600 and 7800 I believe.

the late nVidia AGP cards were quite horrible
and im an nVidia guy through and through
this is the only time i would recommend a different card but..
the Sapphire X1950 Pro is really the best agp around
its what i use in my old rig with no PCI-E port, runs bluray with no problem (and thats saying alot)

well we all know TVs dont look as good as monitors high res
but  dont know about these other guys, i use as high res as possible becuase i like to be able to have firefox, flash, and a movie going with space to spare on my desktop, its how i multitask (dual screen high res helps alot as well)
