[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1082412, member: 60220"] Ok, so let's break it down to your list... In my experience all of those are quite the same in Win 7 and Win 8! If you have any reason outside of MP to go with Win 8 then go with Win 8. If not, stick with 7. - Only have plugins installed you really need and use. The more plugins are active the more cpu and bandwidth will be used. MP start takes longer and stability will be affected. Same goes for extras like mpextended. - Whenever you go with one of these tools think about how it will affect your system and setup. i.e. if you install mpextended for streaming you will need cpu. - The more external tools like eventghost and argus are running the more performance and above all stability will be stressed. - Whenever a plugin lets you choose when and how often it does something like getting info from the internet or scanning local files set those values reasonable. i.e. delay those processes at start up for as long as it gets but still makes sense for your user behavior. Set the intervals as long as it gets too. You can find settings like that in plugins like TVSeries, World Weather, MPCleaner, ....... - Compare skins and their settings. Some skins will be harder on your system then others. Eye candy is not always for free. Settings like hovering backgrounds and changing fanart will affect performance. - If you want to speed up tv set the timeshift to a ram drive like IMDisk or Softperfect Ram Disk. Be aware that as with all gains in performance this can come with side effects in stability. (But running stable here for years now) - Use a reasonable fast and fairly sized SSD - Make sure the SSD runs at its designated speed. Check it with tools like AS SSD, Crystal Diskmark or alike. If it runs too slow check if you have it on the right sata port and if you have the right drivers running. - Make sure your gpu is not too out dated. Raw performance is not the point here. But technology is changing fast. So to make sure things like deinterlacing, 24p playback and connection to your new display run fine you're better of with some current device. Doesn't matter if its integrated in the cpu or not. - If not needed don't run anti virus software on your machine. If you feel the need chose one which runs smoothly on your system and set it to leave MP alone. - Make sure your local network and internet access run smoothly. MP relies a lot on internet services and accessing your files in your local network in a speedy way can be crucial. [/QUOTE]
