Also, if you want Unified Display Interface (UDI) and DirectX 10 you have to wait for the upcoming NVIDIA G80..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anders]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2006 8:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HDTV on your PC is not EZ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/30/hdtv-on-your-pc-is-not-ez/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/30/hdtv-on-your-pc-is-not-ez/</guid><description><![CDATA[Erik,<br><br>Decoder artifacts at 30 or 60 frames a second is the least of the things to worry about.

Intels processors arent very efficient (except for Conroe) when it comes to processing.  AMDs processors are far superior to Intels and could handle this a little more smoothly than the setup they had used.<br><br>As for new tech, AMD is releasing its 4 x 4 tech within "Holiday Season".  This allows for 4 Processing Cores via 2 dual cores (soon to be 8; 2 x 4 cores), and 4 of another/any performance tech. (GPU's, Ram, HDs etc)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zach]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 30th 2006 7:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HDTV on your PC is not EZ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/30/hdtv-on-your-pc-is-not-ez/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/30/hdtv-on-your-pc-is-not-ez/</guid><description><![CDATA[I must admit that having a 1080p monitor hooked up to my monitor is not as cool as I first thought it would be. It kind of sucks having to limit myself to 720p content b/c my 2Ghz system is not able to smoothly display a 1080p video. <br><br>Hopefully I can find a $350 HD-DVD player at Walmart, but that still only leaves me with 1080i output. Debate still rages on noticeable differences between 1080 i & p but knowing you have a 1080p set & HD-DVD disks are encoded in 1080p is still a little disappointing.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eli]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2006 12:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HDTV on your PC is not EZ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/30/hdtv-on-your-pc-is-not-ez/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/30/hdtv-on-your-pc-is-not-ez/</guid><description><![CDATA[HD MPEG-2 decoder cards have been around for a couple years now.  You dont have to buy a top of the line video card to offload the decoding of HD MPEG-2.  Purpose-built MPEG-2 HD decoder cards can be had for ~$100.  I am glad to see that the big vendors are finally incorporating this into their reference designs, but this should be child's play by now.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2006 12:40PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
