Help?! E6850 duo + 2GB all overclocked and running flawlessly. Before you judge, it's only oc'd to 3.6 ghz and the gfx card was oc'd via it's auto tune....<br> <br> I've got this for what it's worth: <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/toms-reference-system,1748.html">http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/toms-reference-system,1748.html</a><br> <br> Being a replaytv/dvarchive user, I realized that after moving to a new address, I could connect my puter and 42" lcd to each other.

I immediately assualted google and found avforums, et al. again... I've spent nearly 3 hours reading posts and posting 1 other myself.<br> <br> I'm suspecting I need an ati dvi to hdmi adapter and a long hdmi(-to-hdmi) cable.<br> <br> Otherwise I would be stuck with the svideo to svideo/component adapter included w/the product.<br> <br> I would love love love to get the dvi-hdmi cable to work since it's strung. Darn bulky, some are. I'm suspecting that it just might be a one-off, though. <br> <br> I'm a unix guy but I know my fair share of M$<br> <br> BTW already tried realtek, ati, bios settings combos........ many, many combos...<br> <br> Thanks tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108767 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:45:20 -0800 3850 ati audio dvi hdmi htpc sound prodevel
