So I found a old P4 and some Intel motherboard, I guess I should use it for a HTPC. I took the AGP card out of my other motherboard (HD3650) to use. Will a 2.1GHz P4 bottleneck the HD3650?

If youre strickly using it for HTPC and internet functions, then as long as the GPU can do the HD decoding you need, the CPU isn't really a factor.

Do you live on here? 2300 post since mid april? Over 15 post/day EVERY day. That's some power Tomming.

Yep. I think the GPU can handle the HD decoding, thanks again.
