If you have PCI it most likely will. You will need to run Vista in order to play games in DX10 format though.

Ive played on my cousins, who also uses his 32" as his monitor...its insane...alittle too big but....who knows....could get used to it.

My 19" right now is sweet, i love it...but i really want go get an HDTV....with the ability to be used as a monitor.

how much is vista first of all....and are there....*cough* torrents *cough*

No there wont be Any torrents, because of there extreme grip there going to have on activation, if not activated within certain time frame alot of the features will shut down and not work.

As for the TV, Go for the TV.

Vista will run on your computer (upgrade to vista premium home for $150?) And then get a DX10 card when everyone has one out and prices start to drop.

$150 aint bad at all....that i can do....will the "Professional" version be more than the "Home" edition?

Dont buy anything and save money for a bigger TV.

I graduate from college in May, I wont have money for a bigger TV for years....secondly, if i get the 32"....that will be for my room wherever i live and the bigger one will be for my Living Room or something in a house once i get one. But there is no reason to go getting a HUGE tv...when im first getting on my feet.

Plus im goin to be living at home for a year or so till i can find a real job...and pay off some college loans.  A large TV just isnt economical for me as of right now or even in the near future.

Ah didnt know that, but let me say, when you get a huge tv it owns.

Just got a 60' DLP (its actually not DLP, I forget what it's called, but it's a very similar technology that's actually better than DLP) and well, I love it

Still have to get a unit for it to rest on because the current table it's on is too high compared to the sitting position of the couch we have so you have to slightly look up to view the center  of the TV.  It's funny though, the table is barely wide enough for the TV and it just dwarfs the table.  It looks 3x smaller than it did before

Any particular reason you want the Westinghouse?

... I would buy the Olevia 32 HDTV LCD instead. I think it's a much better TV for less money and 1600:1 Contrast is better than 1000:1 ... The Westinghouse is kinda ugly looking too.
