Hi all
First off - great forum, great project and software from what I have seen
I have the following initial set up at the moment and want some quick advice....
Set up:
A dedicated server (Windows Home Server - not officially supported I know!) next to a HD LCD TV with a NOVA-T 500 and a Windows XP Media Center the other end. The server is running RC2 and only has integrated Intel g965 graphics
The home server is set up to serve the TV to the XP desktop which has the media portal client on and runs a ATI x800 GTO card.
Questions:
Andy

The home server is set up to serve the TV to the XP desktop which has the media portal client on and runs a ATI x800 GTO card.
Questions:
- The XP machine is running media portal ok but performance isn't as good as media centre used to be across m network - any tips for this over a wired ethernet connection and would having a better and dedicated graphics card on the server help?
- I would like the server to run mediaportal client as well as serve the xp machine and be hooked up to my LCD TV - is it ok to run the client on the smae pc that is the server for other clients?
- Would the HD 2400 pro or HD 3650 be best for my needs in the server?
