does a pentium d925 run 1080p HD material? Or does it only run 720p and 1080i?

It may run some 1080p movies but not much. I mainly got it because it was $50 and I don't have an hdtv yet.

As soon as I get it up and running, currently I have been trying to get windows installed on a PATA drive in order to update the bios (they only have a windows based flashing program on their site). Having problems getting it to install on a pata drive on this motherboard still haven't figured out what's going on. it finishes the setup and then after reboot acts as if it was never installed. It's like it's never properly writing to the drive.

Embrion, thanks for the clip! I have that coming down now! I have the ASUS G35 based HDMI board on the way now and it looks like a D-vineo case here soon. Be sometime next week before it goes together I expect but I'll have results from that as soon as it's screwed together. I may use a laptop drive for it as well, ought to be pretty slick.

No problems with the PATA. I installed vista home premium on an ancient 80GB PATA drive with the NF77.
