Hi,
I know this is an old thread, but has anything come of this? I can't find anything so I'm guessing no. I'd love to see MP be able to be a cast source or receiver. Mostly source.
Thanks!

Bass is the hardest freq to reproduce so the more you off load the speakers the easier it is for them. But it's a balance. If you set the xover too high then you start to lose directional sound and the sound will be split. Also if you offload too much the subwoofer may struggle and will clip and distort.
If the sub is not a very good...

Hi.
If someone is interested in an open source Ram Disk Software without any limitations in size please have a look at IMDisk. This nice piece of software not only is a really fast RAM Disk software, it can replace Programs like Daemon Tools also. I'm using it a long time now, works rock solid. In German part of the forum I have...

Montecristo, I've got a DG45FC Mobo in my "silent" THPC.
The mobo sits in a micro HTX box (passive cooling)
Watch out: the DB45FC motherboard makes a squeeky sound. When I'm sitting in my little lab, without speakers on (when I'm doing experiments at night, whe n there are no cars on the road and the kids are asleep), the squeeky...

reactivating this old post just to inform that the Download Port I/O software is not required for the VFD of the Origenae S16V to work - with Vista anyway, don't know about other OS. Anyway just follow the settings posted by nanogod and you'll be all good.
BTW This case in combination with MediaPortal is a htpc dream come true...

Well, after trying a couple different TV cards (ATi 650 & pinnacle PCTV HD PCi) and the cards are great but the software STILL leaves something to be desired.
If you want to run MediaPortal, stick to the compatible cards list.

Got it all working and tested with both CoreAVC and PowerDVD codecs.
To date the best result is with using PowerDVD. Still doesn't run perfect with the odd glitch. Also as the eeebox is no power house, using any gui overlays is rather slow.
With CoreAVC the channels start playing heaps faster but I can not manger to get the sound...

The MSI brand is good.
The 6150 is fine for everything but possibly HDTV. Someone would need to confirm it's use for that. If you don't care about HDTV right now it will do what you need you can always add a card later for HDTV.

the reply of intel is a real joke, because like Mario said you have to see this as a whole package, software + hardware. The software alone is worth the money!!!
