hdmi should work fine its only an adapter and dvi carries all hdmi signal aswell as analogue. By the way its a no no for the graphics at the mo will look into it again l8r but its gonna be xp with xmbc on it for the mo but must say xmbc is pretty impressive and you can just put that on on its own. But i think the xmbc install is lacking some aceleration hence the basic xp pro install.
