    I want to upgrade my current setup to play blu-ray dvd.

    i am looking for advice on a motherboard with HDMI out onboard.

    i am planning to reuse all the stuff from my current rig bar the processor which is only a P4.

    the case is a antec fusion 350 case and only supports a mATX board.

    can anyone recommend a good motherbord mATX for the Blu-Ray compliance.

    I also intend to start watching HD satelite broadcasts as well, i am not sure if i need higher specs for that.

    you will find it hard to get a P4 chipset that is HDPC compliant. Bluray needs a dual core if you use CPU. you coulkd upgrade to a APG GPU. that should then cope.

    I would get a C2D and a nvidia 9300 chipset with HDMI. Asus make a good one. not sure of the name.
