[QUOTE="mvdlans, post: 215370, member: 62250"] At the moment I have the following hardware: Abit NF7-S AMD Barton MP2400+ running on 2,0GHz 1GB PC3200 200 + 400 GB ATA harddisk Geforce4 Ti4600 Media Portal works fine on this hardware, but it randomly freezes. Windows is working fine, so every time Media Portal freezes, I have to kill the process MediaPortal.exe in Task Manager. I think the videocard may be the problem, because it don't support Directx 9.0c. So I'm looking for some new hardware: Hauppauge PVR 500 MCE (specially for hardware encoding) ATI Radeon 2400Pro 256MB DVI/HDCP (specially for powerfull HD video acceleration) Would this help me a lot or can I better go for a new HTPC with Core 2 Duo E6550? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
