    I have decided on the quad core for a gaming pc with the popcorn-hour for streaming the media over to the living room
    I will be editing HD m2ts files -so will be getting a quad core for this.

    a few questions around gaming/media pc parts:
    Capture/tuner card - Can I record Free to Air digital channels with the Hauppage HVR 1100 ? FTA is all I need to record. And thru MCE. Or the 1200, 1300 or 1700 versions ?
    CPU fan: this do the trick -noise not a major problem.
    MB: for use with a Quad core extreme -here ? Needs to have S3 for standby.
    Suitable ram - possibly 3-4 gb.

    I have a GC and hd's.
    any other ideas options - open to all.
    thx

    k
