Got a friend who has an older motherboard, it's got an Athlon 64 X2 6400+ CPU and looks to have a PCIe x16.
I was thinking of trying the Asus GT430 video card to see if it's got the juice for HD playback. Anyone know off hand? He's a few states away so if anyone has any real experience that would be great. MB only supports up to 4G, and that DDR memory is expensive, so I'm not sure if it's even worth the experiment.
Trying to use what he has, but still get some components he can bring to a new build if this works and he gets the cash for newer stuff.
Thanks...
EDIT: he's planning on running Win7 on this, needs Hulu/Netflix
Motherboard seems to be a WinFast 761GXK8MB
