Yes, Ben understood what I meant. It would make more sense and wouldn't seem innovative in any fashion if you had dealt with multi-displays before.
I have two soundcards, onboard audio + pci soundcard w/ optical out. My htpc apps are assigned to direct audio output to the addon card. This machine isn't meant for 24/7 dual tuner PVR use or anything. I just use it to play my digital audio archives and encoded videos on an onkyo receiver and 42" lcd tv. I can control my media stuff with an IR remote. I'm testing out Linux but am mainly running this rig under Windows XP MCE 2K5. I have a dedicated htpc in my home but it is a low power system that streams video and audio off a server over a gigabit network (not necessary). I bought a pulled Core Duo mobile processor off of ebay for $30 and installed it on a mini-itx motherboard. H264 encodes play great with CoreAVC codec because it can utilize multiple processors. -Tharin O. Ben Ruset <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There's no VM in what he was talking about.
