I have intel dual core e5200 and recently bought onkyo hts 3400 for feeding home theater I have two option 1)Graphics card 2)Media Player ( Budget around Rs.5k).As far as I know I have the following assumption about these two help me to choose between them.
Graphics Card
-------------
Pros:
1)Gaming crysis,nfs new series,call of duty new series...(with my present onboard graphics I could play games like nfs most wanted,fifa08,price of persia ... )
2)No need to buy hard disk.
3)better quality video audio playback
4)Freedom of choosing different players to play audio & video
5)Secured (no other person view content without our permission)
Cons:
1)High power consumption
2)No proper remote available
3)Some what inconvenient compared to media player
4)There is no component output
Media Player
-------------
Pros:
1)Convenient to use & remote
2)Power saving
3)Component output (so we can use it with crt tv also)
Cons:
1)Video quality is not matching grphics card
2)Need to buy another hard disc
3)Content is not secure
4)No gaming
