Depends what you want to do with it. Good enough to surf the web and watch dvd's, play music. But High Definition content would probably stutter.

no doubt about it. There is no way he could play HD content.

If you add a newer video card with UVD (universal Video decoder) you might be fine. Anything from ATI 2000 series or newer will cut it. Doesn't have to be expensive either as long as it has the chip.

I used a DVI-to-HDMI cable to hook up my 7900GTO to my TV. Works fine for video just don't expect any audio.

well just 2 give a bit of feedback

i put that systym 2gether hooked it up via dvi hdmi adapter and it was horribile picture at any rez over 1280x1024 ive never seen anything look so crummy

it will have 2 do 4 now, i really only need it when im doin mods 2 my mian rig anyway so i will just have 2 use 1280x1024 but atleast i can still surf

ive been thinkin of movin 2 a qaud core anyhow but i probubly wont do that till spring

My cousin has an ATi Radeon HD 3450 (AGP) and he just uses an DVI-HDMI and it has audio....
