LOL, Okay... Before I upgraded my Video card, I was running ASUS MB with built in HDMI/SPDIF... but it was a pain...
Bought a cheap Nvidia card GT520 for 20bucks... now I have perfect HDMI output and better video processing
i never tried hdmi out because my receiver only took optical or analog input, but im sure its much better/easier because its new and improved.
