I've been looking at various cards and it appears that not all HDI type interfaces carry the audio as well as the video? At any rate I'll be sure to get a card that does carry both signals. I'm not going to hook up the surround system, just the TV and it's internal speakers will suffice.

One thing I noticed is that many of them suggest a 350 to 400 watt power supply, my OEM PS is only 300 watt. I THINK that will be OK as long as I limit power usage/multitasking when the TV portion is up and running. My OEM card is in a slot, not built in.

I'm partial to NVIDIA cards myself...
