Hi, I am just wondering if I can get card or tuner to somehow allow my old ferrari 3200 to watch hd videos. Thank you

ur vid card should be able to handle 720/1080 with no problem. Issue is to use the correct software to support the hd clips

cheers ...

Should be no problem, it has firewire and puts out 1080P.

720p should not be a problem, nor should 1080i

however, 1080p might be too much for it, older single core cpu's don't have the power. you can try a different codec. I found one called x264 which is supposed to be a faster H264 decoder. it helps a bit.

also check your power management and make sure the performance is set to maximum on the cpu. that will help keep the cpu at max frequency.
