Howdy guys,


until now i've been using an intel based box for my pci card. I'm about to build an amd system, and am wondering what speed amd i need.

Motherboard is a 939 socket, so its a athlon 64 or 64 fx i'm looking at.


does the current nebula software support 64 bit?


regards,

Unless you need like 4 or 5 Gb of RAM, stick with Windows XP 32-bit, don't bother with 64-bit because you won't see any benefit.

So if you DO want to go to XP64, you'll have to have a USB unit because there's no 64-bit drivers for the PCI card.

Now as far as watching HD goes, any CPU you buy new today will run HD without a problem, although as always, the faster the processor, the more you have left for other tasks (perhaps a dual-core would be good if you want to watch HD AND browse the net/compress video/burn DVDs at the same time).
