Celeron D 331 fast enough for HD?
So I am contemplating building an HDTV Sage Client using a Celeron D 331 and a geforce 6600. My previous HDTV sage client used a Sempron 2800 and a geforce 6600 and seemed to have plenty of head room that I could go to a slightly slower proc with no problems. I found a microATX board and celeron D 331 for about 30 bucks cheaper than the sempron 2800 and board. My biggest concern is the heat/noise/power usage factor. Would I notice much difference? Will this be powerful enough?
