Setting up a "Full HD Movie" Rig

msyafiq_m — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:49:58 +0800

A friend asked me to setup a PC for him, his main purpose is to watch HD movie on his Dell S2409W(he doesn't play any games at all).
Budget was not mentioned, as long as the money spent is worth it. So my questions are:

1) Is there any motherboard with integrated GC that can support Full HD?

If (1) is yes:

2a) As the LCD comes with a HDMI connector, can any of you suggest a board that provide this output?

If (1) is no:

2b) Please suggest the minimum GC required to achieve his objective

Thanks.

Hi,

Currently in my 3rd year in IIUM, doing Computer Engineering. This semester, i'm taking Computer Architecture and System Design(both theory and Verilog/VHDL language studies). Anyone else taking the course or had taken it before? Let's share our experiences and knowledge on this course..

Ok,let me start with a question that needs some explanation. Refer to the next two codes:

1. The following generates a mux:

reg out, sel, a, b;
always @ (sel or a or b)
if(sel)
out = a;
else out = b;

2. The following infers a latch:

always @ (sel or a or b)
if(sel)
out = a;

Through my reading, i was being informed that the 2nd case happen because the storage device is being inferred.But i don't actually get what does it mean by being inferred(refering to the 2nd case)? Anyone care to explain?
