Wow..Yorkfield Quad-core for HTPC  . But not power-saving friendly IMHO... 

Thanks. Any recommendation of GC suitable for me? The sound will be transferred to the TV via HDMI output right? Not from my PC speaker?

I just plug in my Apple Mac Mini using  XBMC to run BD-ISO on my HT system and for those who are new,here is some settings you need to do on the OS X settings.
1. Go to system preference -> sounds ( there will pop up a window box and first setting is sound effects,choose the ' play sound effect through' to your AVR name
2. Go to Output and select your AVR name
3. Go to XBMC and in the audio settings choose Audio Output to HDMI

Then we are all set to enjoy decoded DD 5.1 from AVR.

One thing I am not sure is why it can't decode DTS-HDMA as my ISO has the audio imbedded on it? Can anyone explain what I am missing?

Thanks paskal.
I've been trying to find information on these HD 6xxx cards but can't conclusively see if that ANY HD6xxx card will output DTS HD MA or Dolby TrueHD.
I know I may be a little fussy here, but half the joy is seeing that DTS HD Master or TrueHD light come on on the AV receiver.

I went to Asus' website and there's no info.
Sapphire's website shows some has it and some doesn't say.
AMD's website simply says all HD 6xxx GPU chip will support DTS HD and TrueHD.
Am I safe to buy ANY 6xxx card?

what's the total cost in RM ? any tax imposed?

Brilliant spec.  If you don't play game on it, try to consider latest A6 chip with A88+ mobo.  Its cooler, energy saving and fast enough for all Full HD videos.

different people have (usually) vastly different opinions regarding AMD vs Intel solutions.
but one thing remain consistently true: Intel solutions are usually better in energy management compared to AMD. it's been that way for decades years.

so if you don't mind paying a couple bucks more for cheaper initial costs, get AMD.
but if you're planning to turn on the system for a few hours per day, the extra ~200W per hour, per day will add up to a substantial number at the end of the month.

tho it's not impossible to build a system capable of handling full HD material whilst maintaining ~50W (or less) power.

I am not addict with online gaming. Normally surf net & torrent. Most prefer watch 1080p & dts sound system.
Then need connect to my home theater too.
