bump up this... hope someone can provide me the better answers...
Which combo is better performance for decode Full HD movie??

1) AMD x2 6000+ with ecs a780gm-a and ATI HD 4830
2) AMD x3 8650 with ecs a780gm-a and ATI HD 4830

No.2 since u r asking which one is better rather than which one is capable..
IMHO, buying HTPC is different than buying a gaming rig, jus buy those spec which is capable rather than going very highend ones.

P4 3.0, 2GB, AGP 3850
What do you all think with these hardware can play 1080P smoothly ?? Cos, I plan going to buy HIS HD 3850 512MB (256bit) GDDR3 AGP for my old P4. It's worth for me to do like this ?? thz

yeap, it can play 1080p smoothly by adding the GC..
but how reliable is it? i mean the P4 and its MOBO.. it is very hard (expensive) to find replacement in the future if somehting goes wrong..
rather than spending a lot on this GC (i assume AGP is more expensive), y not u get sum c2d 2nd hand proc and mobo which is sumhow prove to be more viable in a long run?

Ya, you are right .. I also think if something goes wrong .. it's really waste my money to buy that display card .. if I just upgrade just cost me around RM400  But, I going to buy a used c2d CPU need around RM1k lolx doh.gif  ...For sure c2d have last longer than old p4.... Dunno what to do now ... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

i sugguest u to go for socket am2+ CPU.. value for money...
scout around for 2nd hand.. cpu + mobo i think can get below 400.. 780chipset is ok d.. better still get 785...
and sell ur old p4 and mobo.. if u r lucky enuf.. u can upgrade by topping up a bit
