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.

MP1 MP2 Strange behaviour when editing the Wiki DE

I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...

MP1 MP2 Audio/Music output not stereo. 2.41, 2.5, 1.38.3 DE

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.3 Difference between using specific audio renderer versus "Default WaveOut Device"? DE

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...
