I recently purchased a Smart HD TV.
I want to connect my desktop pc to it.
My Processor is 32 bit. so my os is 32 bit. and is Windows xp sp3.
Processor is Core 2 Duo Processor E4600, LGA775
2.40 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB
Mother board is Intel DG41RQI
My primary goal is to use The TV as an additional monitor through HDMI.
No games.movies may be yes. redirecting tv streams from internet to tv yes.
browsing the net using firefox and tv as monitor yes.
all applications tv as monitor yes.
able to use the present monitor as monitor yes.
able to use both tv and monitor and two different contents on two screens may be
After browsing for the past two to three days,
I figure either NVIDIA or AMD/ATI Radeon.
further , I figured
AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6450 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card .
and now I need clarity in
His Silence HD 6450 1GB or His Fan HD 6450 1GB or His Fan HD 6450 2GB
or PowerCooler HD 6450 or Sapphire HD 6450 1 GB.
or shall I check NVIDIA again.
His has Fan . so I suppose cooling.and I also read that Eyefinity is there too.
where as Powercooler has windows xp drivers.
is Eyefinity there for all AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6450?
I suppose my PSU supports 400w.
and Windows XP dirivers for all the above are available?
But presently I have only 1GB ddr2 ram for my whole PC.
will that be ok, if I buy either of the above? or do I need to upgrade it also?
I don't have ddr3 slots on my mother board.
i have to buy either 1gb ddr2 or 2gb dd2 or 4gb dd2. which i will do only if that is the best possible option.
I will upgrade to windows 7- 32 bit if again that is a must.
Thank you all, including the site "tomshardware.com" ,for all the detail I am able to put for my need.
and thanks in advance for your answers.
