I am wondering what the next step should be in my HTPC setup.
I have the ASUS M3A78-EM Motherboard with the embedded ATI HD 3200 GPU that supportS hybrid crossfire. I will use this PC for TV/PVR, Internet, DVD, Music, Medium Gaming, Emulators, and soon BluRay. I do all my heavy gaming such as Crisis on another rig.

My Questions Are:

1. If I add a new video card will the HDMI & Displayport on the Motherboard still be available? Or will theY only use the Onboard GPU?

2. To go the Hybrid Crossfire route do I need to stay in the 3200 series and will there be much performance gains?
