Hi guys!
Just wanted to ask you. Is the nVidia 8800 full compatible with Windows Media Center Edition?
I want to have Media Center for movies,music, photos (with the MS Remote Control) AND play the latest games.
Have anyone tryied this card in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 ?

The card will work great in the WMC operating system.
Personally though I think you would be much better off with XP pro and add the media programs that suit you better than to rely on M$ for your media programs.

Yes, but I want to use the Microsoft Remote Control so other members of my family can easily use this system for entertainment.
Will those programs do it?
Thanks for your concern!

If you have to use the M$ remote then use it with MC2005 and I believe it actually works with the new vista OS also.
