Hello,
I am sure this is pretty basic stuff for many experts on this site but I have been wondering about this since quite a long and would appreciate the help.
I want to build an HTPC which would be also used for some programming.
I am confused between two configurations which cost almost same :
1. Intel DG45ID which has the integrated graphics
2. Intel DG31PR and XFX graphics card with NVIDIA chipset 1GB GF 9400GT
Which one will be good for graphics performance?
In second combination I do not get HDMI but I do have D-SUB, DVI & S-Video; can I use them / combo with HDMI TV?
To view & record TV; I will need an additional card? or there are other similarly priced motherboard / graphics card which can do that for me?
