I am a college student who wants to save some money on a HT by incorporating it into my computer. How does this setup sound:
P4 1.7 mHz
256 MB Ram
Radeon 7500 All-in-Wonder Video card
Videologic Digitheatre DTS or Klipsch Promedia 5.1
SB Live! 5.1 or ??
My questions are:
1) Is there anyway to truly eliminate stutters in DVD playback on a PC? Any tips? Any hardware that is known for being stutter free? Anything to avoid?
2) I am planning on getting a 5400 RPM HD, but would a 7500 RPM help lessen stuttering?
3) What is a good sound card for a HT? I was planning on a SB Live!. If there are any other cards that are recommended (I am open to mid range prices, but please no expensive ones). How are Videologics? If I use their Digitheatre, would matching them up with their sound card be an advantage? I would really like to know.
Anyway, any info greatly appreciated.
