Re: [H] Memory problems?

I just re-built three of my (older) original XP computers because the SouthBridge Chipsets went bad. (I had all types of problems, but lots centered on I/O problems.) Rick Glazier From: "nobozoz" James Boswell wrote: Do all the caps on the mainboard l

Good question - I don't know. I'll have a look after I've run the extended memory test for a few hours. Thanks, Jim James Boswell wrote: Do all the caps on the mainboard look okay? On 17 Dec 2008, at 01:27, nobozoz wrote: I have a Dell Precision WorkStation 350. OS: WINXPSP3 VID

Re: [H] HTPC - Which Software?

Meedio is what I was using before I moved to MediaPortal. What I liked about both of those solutions (and did NOT like about the Microsoft version) was the extreme customization and compatibility with different codecs and file formats. If you like living in Apple's world (ie you own Mac and iPods

Re: [H] HTPC - Which Software?

I tried media portal on a couple machines and didn't like it. I do have capture cards and can't remember what specifically turned me off to it. I still use an older version of Meedio from prior to the software going commercial and it works well even on low power PC's. I have a tablet PC (only 50

[H] HTPC - Which Software?

I have an older computer that is being dedicated to playing videos & TV. Happauge card (PVR-150) installed. I'm not really happy with the WinTV2000 software (WinTV, with this card, refuses to see any channels), so the question becomes, which HTPC software should I use? A remote came with the PVR-
