What sort of hardware are we talking about for Freevo 2? My old media centre hardware has died (Via SP13000) so I am looking at getting a new motherboard etc.
Now I have a VERY low profile case (40mm hight clearance internally) and only space for 1 card... now as that slot will probably be a 2 tuner tv card, I don't have any space free for a gfx card :) (one of these http://www.hipergroup.com/products.php?lv=4&cate=2&type=12&pid=128&action=Picture&w=1280&h=590 ) I was thinking about one of the new Atom 330 (dual core) motherboards as these are supposed to be able to handle 720p and some 1080p content with the latest playback drivers, but the graphics card is a very old GMA 950, would you expect that sort of system to cope with Freevo 2? I would expect an atom system to be a very popular choice for a media centre hardware, I certainly don't want to run a full power intel quad core system in my lounge just to run a media centre (and I wouldn't want to pay the power bill on such a system either!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
