I will see if my Asus GT430 fits, and if so, I'll simply add that to the case.<br>
<br>
Now, I found the original invoice and the CPU installed is a AMD 64,<br>
3200+ 2,0GHz.<br>
Should I simply keep that CPU, or try and add the best CPU for that<br>
socket I can find?<br>
The mobo can have only 4GB ram max, and that's what I have. For a FE,<br>
4GB should be ok?<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Alessandro, I imagine your current CPU will be fine if you can stuff a VDPAU-capable card like the GT430 inside the case. Your CPU has more oomph than my Intel Atom + Nvidia ION and I can drive a 1080p display. 4GB RAM is plenty as well.</div>
