[QUOTE="Timmay, post: 12239, member: 11949"] Why do you think hardware DirectX9 is important? I don't know enough about DirectX or Media Portals usage of it but I thought the main differences between DX8 and 9 are in 3d-graphic related areas which are not used in MP (correct me if I'm wrong). What are the advantages of using a DX9-hardware-compatible card instead of one only software-comp.? Right now I'm using a GeForce 4 and MP works fine (haven't tried tv-recording yet, though) - it's got an active (noisy) fan and my case has no room for a Zalman heatpipe. [/QUOTE]
