Hello Peoples,
I've got some money now... $600 and I want a discrete HTPC... I'm torn between a 4850e and a 780G or an E7200 and a 7150. Tell me, how's Blu-ray on the 7150? If its acceptable at 720p (That's my BF's TV for ya) I think I'll get Intel

Anyone get this? http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=1330&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=#menu Is the 7200 supported out of the box?
I'm leaning towards Intel as it has more cache and is faster at encoding...
