HI
If i'm only going to use the computer for watching/record tv (using my hauppauge PVR-500), watch DVDs and surf the web.
Why should i get the GeForce N6200 instead of the FX5200?

Thanks
/T

I think the N6200 is more value for today's machines... the fx5200 is an older model, cheap though but the N6200 isn;t that much more expensive.
The N6200 will (not fully) support the use of the PureVideo decoder from nvidia which takes some work of the CPU and pass it on to the GPU; meaning less CPU power needed.

Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...

Good evening, the last weeks my MP2.5 Server with TVE3 is running not very good/stable. After 30 min the server quits working after changing EPG from EPG Buddie to Clickfinder (TV Movie). The OS and the MP2.5 Server Software were installed several times new, but in general nothing changed. Are there any changes or setting needed for...
