alrite, so i am in the process of gathering my parts for the carputer.. new at setting up carputer on a mini tx board.. well I want my carputer to pretty much play dvd/svcd/divx/xvid and so on.. I have done some searching and i gathered some knowledge, i understand the m10000 C3 1ghz should be able to do dvd playpack and divx no prob. right ?? But I dont want to much CPU processing being used while watching these movies..

My question, is should i upgrade the Video output to a Geforce MX 4000 or should i get a XCARD ?? from seeing the testing reults using a Xcard, seems like less CPU power is used ?? but this was tested on a via epia 800, would the M10000 board produce same results with a Geforce MX 4000 or should i use Xcard ??

Thanks

Why don't you want CPU power on the movie watching, not like anything else will be happening. I have been running the M10000 for a long time and have no issues running dvd with my frontend in the background running.

thanks.. so you are running off the onboard video and works fine ?? i was wondering this because i would also like to play some comp games, nothing to fancy.. but just wanted to know if i would need a better video card or would the onboard be fine ?? thanks again.
