So the performance with madVR is only relevant if you use other players (e.g. MPC-HC) which can use it. If your budget will stretch to the A8-5500 then I think I'd go for it - it's 4 cores instead of 2 and the GPU is more powerful, so in theory it should be able to handle pretty much anything you could throw at it for HTPC use. It will probably run a bit warmer than the A6 (because of the extra CPU cores), but it's hard to know for sure in a 'real world' situation. Tony</blockquote>
