    I built my rig below back in October, which is about how old the card is, and I'm reading conflicting reports online about whether the Radeon x1950XTX is HDCP-compliant. Some say it's compliant, some say it's "ready" (whatever that means, since I'd probably still just have to buy a new card to fill in that "ready" spot where the missing HDCP chip should be).

    I want to know if I'm going to be able to play 1080p HD material on my computer if/when I buy an XBOX360 HD Drive Add-On (cheapest option right now). Anyone know the real answer to this?
