Hello, I have a HP Pavilion Elite M9340F Desktop Computer and I was wondering if it will support a Blu-Ray Disk Drive should I decide to purchase one and install it?

Your CPU is fast enough, and your video card supports BD playback. All you need now is an HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection)-compliant monitor. If you already know that your monitor is HDCP-ready, you can skip the novella below and buy that BD drive. :) If you're using a monitor, HDTV, or projector that connects to your video card by HDMI, then you're good to go. All HDMI displays are HDCP ready. If the monitor connects to a DVI port, you'll need to make sure that it's HDCP ready. A quick look on the manufacturer's website should tell you. If your DVI monitor is not HDCP ready, you can either: - use the analog VGA jack on your video card. A non-HDCP ready DVI port will not allow you to watch Blu-Ray discs at their full resolution, thanks to a nasty little thing called DRM (electronic copy protection). However, VGA still allows full resolution playback (although this may change in the future). - You can purchase SlySoft's AnyDVD, which strips the Blu-Ray of all of its copy protection, allowing you to watch it in full resolution over a non-HDCP-compliant DVI port.
