I have taken the plunge and purchased my first Media Center TV PC!!
(I've owned her for less than 10 hours as of now)

So far I'm pleased. It's much faster (and quieter) than my previous
(homebuilt) machine.

The only thing (the *ONLY* thing) wrong with this PC is the video
card. No DVI out and a bit underpowered.

MY QUESTION: Can I replace the built in NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE with a
better video card WITHOUT messing up the TV or other Media Center
functions?

Any help would be most appreciated.

There should be no reason you can't. Just make sure you download the =
appropriate MCE compatible drivers for the card you buy.

Hi,
I have an HP Media Centre PC which came with an NVidia 7600 GS Card
and this works fine with MCE 2005. I am no expert on Video Cards but
this one is fast enough for all my simulation games running with all
options set at maximum quality and has 512mb Ram and fits in the PCI
Express slot. It has 2 DVI out sockets.
Works very well for me with both TV card and Video editing software.

Regards
James
