[QUOTE="ced007, post: 707880, member: 78824"] Hello, I was searching for the perfect hardware for a MePo client, able to manage properly HD content (video and TV). I bought the Asrock Vision 3d - 137B and it's perfect. The specifications are: Processeur: Intel Core i3-370M (dual core 2.4 Ghz) Chipset: Intel HM55 Memory: 2x 2Go So-Dimm DDR3-1066 Mhz (dual channel) CGU: NVIDIA GT 425M (MXM) HD: 500 Go (2.5") Combo : Blu-ray / DVD writer slim 2x USB 3.0 Card reader: (MMC/SD/MS/MS PRO) HDMI (v1.4a) DVI-I entrée ligne 7.1 analog out (4 mini jack) SPDIF out 5x USB 2.0 1x USB 3.0 1x eSATA II 1x RJ45 (Ethernet Gigabit) Ethernet Gigabit WiFi n I have installed Win7x64, MePo 1.1.2 and SAF 5 unlock. I use various ffdshow treatments without any problems, CPU is powerful enough. I first tried to use the Wifi-N for the connection with the MePo server but only divx worked fine, all "bigger" files were not playable by the client, even SD TV didn't work well. Wifi-n is not fast enough and Wifi in general is too unstable for an efficient client. So I tried with a PLC (Powerline Communications) system and everything works just fine. I bought the Netgear XAVB5501: [url=http://www.netgear.com/home/products/powerline-and-coax/high-performance/XAVB5501.aspx]XAVB5501[/url] If you are interesting by the Asrock, there are good tests here: [url=http://www.techspot.com/review/334-asrock-vision-3d-htpc/]Asrock Vision 3D HTPC Review - TechSpot[/url] (in english) and here: [url=http://www.homemedia.fr/tests-guides/199-ASRock-Vision-3D-137B-0.html]Asrock Vision 3D - HomeMedia.fr[/url] (in french) The only bad point I see for the Asrock is the price: around 800€.
