im_to_hyper Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) I have a computer with the following specs, and was wondering if it was capable of supporting Blu-Ray playback if I bought a drive: Pentium 4 2.4GHz/512kb L2/533MHz FSB3GB PC3200 (400MHZ) DDR RAM80GB 7200 RPM hard driveATI Radeon HD 3650 512MBI was thinking of getting a PCI card with a SATA adapter, and using that for a BluRay drive.

puntoMX Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was thinking of getting a PCI card with a SATA adapter, and using that for a BluRay drive.Most controllers use a VIA chip that isn´t really that compatible with SATA although it´s designed for it.What CPU is that? S478 or S775? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 As long as you can get the ATI card to do the hardware decoding of the video stream, you should be able to play BluRay on that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
