There is no difference in the quality of video in my opinion. It is sometimes a little tricky to get everything working, but the end result is worthwhile. You do not need to use hdmi if your tv has either a DVI input that supports HDCP or a VGA input that supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p). As far as getting HD audio, it is possible and there are several ways. The first is to use the 5.1 or 7.1 analog outputs from your audio card. The second is to get one of the video cards that support HD audio throu LPCM such as the ATI HD-4870. This will also only work if your Audio receiver supports those inputs and formats.
