[QUOTE="fangio99, post: 698592, member: 108073"] I have an old PC running Media Portal in my living room. It is just for playback of XVid, MKV etc. files. My TV is only 720P so that is the max it has to acheive. The spec is: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe 2GB PC3200 RAM (Dual channel) Sapphire Radeon Atlantis 9600 256MB AGP Graphics 200GB Maxtor IDE Hdd 2TB External Hdd MCE remote CoreAVC codec and Latest CCCP pack installed Media Portal v1.1.1.0 It just about handles most 720P stuff but occasionally it stutters with high action sequences. I was thinking about getting a new graphics card and found this: [url=http://www.dimension4.ie/products.asp?partno=AG3650+512MD2-V3]PowerColor Radeon HD3650 512MB - AG3650 512MD2-V3[/url] Its not worth spending a fortune on a machine this old so I hope this would be enough to fix the issue. What do you think? Thanks, Fangio [/QUOTE]
