bloodmyst Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm upgrading my HTPC with a new mobo, CPU, RAM, and video card. I'm buying this mobo combo (which from what I've read is pretty compatible as a Hackintosh board), and I'm looking to get my video card at the same time and place as the mobo combo. The question is, which of these cards that this retailer offers is best for me? I'm mostly looking for compatibility, but it'd be nice if I could use it on the Windows side to watch HDTV with my TV tuner. There are only a few in my budget of $50. Will you guys just take a quick look for me? I'm a n00b. Here's the link. I appreciate anyone who's willing to help.

noNix Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The board os a good choice. I am, running the same board with a slower processor (E5200) running as an HTPC. OSX likes lots of memory, so I would up it from 2Gb to 4Gb using DDR2 800 memory - bottom of the drop down at the bottom of the page. Video Card: The Asus 8400GS 256MB works great and is silent, its also only $36. I have the 512Mb version of the card and have had no problems.
