If you're going to run W7 then I would go for ATI. I've heard good things about the HD 6570. Nvidia has a macroblocking issue when you FF or RW in W7.

any Radeon HD6xxx series can BitStream HD-Audio too,,
not just the GT430's...
again, refer to my guide...

pick up the INTEL G530 mini ITX build thats there
and just swap the video card so u can bitstream HD audio,,,

I figured openelec would bitstream hd audio once it was released by team xbmc but if its windows only I will change my build up and use windows 7...I have a hd already that I can use.

So I guess I need to change my vid card to a 430 and no need for the flash drive.
Everything else ok to order?

Thanks for the help....

here are several builds for w7+xbmc+bitstreaming:

1. post #2

2. post #1. it might be the best igpu available on the market.
