[QUOTE="jcee, post: 15769, member: 10506"] What CPU fits best with a HTPC (specially Media Portal)?! I am going to buy a new AMD board and struggling between the many different CPU types. I do not want to waste money if I do not have a benefit from it in Media Portal. I do understand that Mhz is not always what wins the race. There are other thinks like L2 cahce, 32/64bit etc.. So could you please share your opinion: [b]1. Should I go for max Mhz OR better take some 100 Mhz less if I get more L2 cache (512 instead of 256)? 2. Should I go for a more expensive Athlon 64 as it does 64-bit instead of a cheaper Sempron CPU, or is 64-bit not supported? 3. For which core do I have to go? I read so many .. Newcastle, Paris, Clawhammer.. I got lost because of so many information... [/b] Please help.. ! I am going to use Mediportal but would like to be prepared to record and playback at the same time .. maybe even convert to DIVX in the background in the near future... My current Atholon1400 seems to have been died on the weekend, it does not boot anymore.. so I need somethink new.. ! [/QUOTE]
