HI All,

I have an older (few years old now) that i want to build into a cheap HTPC.
It is a eMachines EL1600 with an Atom 230 processor, 1Gb Ram. I have an SSD i can use for the HD rather than the mechanical one in there.

I went out and got a GT210 graphics card for it not realising it only had a PCI slot in it. Its been a while and now cant return the graphics card so am after a replacement.

I plan on using XBMC live or OpenElec on it

I have done a little bit of research on it and still not to sure on choosing hardware. Can anyone tell me if either of these two cards are fine for use.
I guess this machine will fit into group 3. I have a few BD rippped to my server but my receiver wont decode DTS audio. Or am i wasting my time with this PC to start with?

Thanks,
