[QUOTE="daveyboy, post: 144087, member: 11973"] I was using the onboard sound for a long time, but when MediaPortal 0.2.2.0 was released, the SPDIF output no longer worked. Older versions were fine still. In the end I got a cheap sound card with SPDIF output, and that's working fine. Of course, YMMV. As for Graphics, I have a Radeon 9550 as well, which I thought would do me fine. Just started to play some HD content, and the system is stuttering on some higher bitrate stuff. Maybe I need some more RAM (tried that once, PC wouldn't POST), maybe a faster processor (Socket A? Not much around any more), but perhaps the 9550 is not up to the job either. Still, should be fine for non-HD content. Actually, to be fair, it's just one 720p file I have trouble with at the moment. But 1080p is a no-no. Might be worth a certain amount of future-proofing? Something like a 7600GS would play HD stuff as well. [/QUOTE]
