[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 28846, member: 14004"] Considering you most likey want to stay with the same motherboard, recommending a platform swap to AMD might be a bit futile. ;) Of course, if you are looking to get a new motherboard, and maybe some ram, then i would also be on that boat and recommend an AMD soloution. The new Venice AMD64 chips run so cool and stable at low voltages, that I wouldn't be hesitant to try and run it with a passive cooler. Like Jelly I agree; the Celeron D CPU's are much, much better than what the celerons were like back in the day we remember them. :D Definatly not the performance king, but they are very overclockable as well as cooler running due to having the smaller cache. It also depends on what you want the HTPC to do. if you plan on gaming or media encoding, then I would get the fastest possible. If its for simple usage; watching TV (hardware encoding card), playing movies, music, nes/snes emulators, etc... then I've gotten away with a puny 800Mhz P3. Everything is relative. [/QUOTE]
