Is my computer HD Compatible?"

I have window XP my model number is:Gateway 831GM. And i would like to know if it is able to support an HD screen.
The ability to connect to an HD screen rests on your video card. Look in Control Panel>System>Hardware tab>Device Manager. Expand the Display category and write down the make/model of your video card. Then you can Google it using a search term like "Nvidia Geforce 8800 HD support".

hello

the answer is yes and no intel claims support for hd screens using the itegrated graffix card gma900 as shown here  http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:pXddBfSg2T8J:www.intel.com/design/chipsets/applnots/30262403.pdf+Intel%C2%AE+GMA900+onboard+graphics+subsystem&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShq8WajfXDTauJyUtb2H3RPZvkb00vP8ktT282u-FszX4PLy3ZqBYKkdGOfhoYhCTNP8LkwcEW4s2R6AmktcTijtU5SbORgboX0BTnQvVPcGaPbQIJ2gKMtlNnWZQhxWHgxTPU0&sig=AHIEtbT3pQZuEWf4tRRYFRPuB8XIU_7pzQ

howerever the card technologly is over 6 years old with no onboard memory and slow by todays standards the winxp media center os doesnt support a lot of memory.. newer cards have gotten cheap and if you you dont like the performance you can always upgrade the card

**in order to get full hd you will need to purchase and install a hdmi cable
