Re: Infro for a motherboard and cpu for wactch on tv

Ok would this work for showing live sports events like NFL Sunday Ticket no games. I found my gigabyte mother board with a 775 cpu and believe the speed is around 2.8. It has 8 gig of 1066 ddr memory.

That should work. Is it using onboard video or a video card, and if the latter, which one?

With a setup like that you are probably going to want a graphics card, rather than relying on the integrated graphics but it is worth a try. You may be satisfied.

A core 2 board? Really? I hope you realize that's already completely outdated. The money you think you're saving you will show itself in lack of cpu if it has to decode anything hd with the lack of a decent gpu, if it would have supported gpu acceleration in the first place.

Either don't buy it now, and save your money, otherwise you need to start with an intel 1155 or 1150 socket.
