nVidia PureVideo HD

"So what do you need to get next generation disc content on your PC? Well, there are no less than seven different constituent parts to the puzzle. Clearly some of these are stating the obvious and you could even add a sufficiently fast CPU to the list but it does go to show that getting there a lot to think about. All parts of the chain I listed earlier need to be HDCP compliant otherwise you won’t be able to view you’re content over a digital connection. If you try and view protected content without a compliant HDCP graphics card or display you’ll get no picture at all. So when TrustedReviews got an invitation from nVidia and Cyberlink to see a demonstration of HD DVD actually working it was only too keen to take it up the offer. The demonstration was exclusively given by Scott Vouri, General Manager of Multimedia and Software, nVidia and TrustedReviews was the only publication in the UK invited to see it."
Looks like the guys over at TrustedReviews got a nice treat. Although it is really a bit too early, even for those of you who like to go bleeding edge, if your even thinking about going DIY to get HD on your PC, you might want to take a look.
