[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 1003447, member: 111675"] Hi KJ, I am in the UK so I shall indeed have to deal with 1080i. It is very interesting that you have suggested going down the AMD route - I was planning on only ever going with intel for the future but I will always keep an open mind. What is the main benefit of the A6-5xxx over an i3? Your comments have made me wonder whether I could perhaps swap a few things around before considering what to buy. At the moment I have, (in addition to the laptop and Raspberry Pi) two main PCs: My server/standalone HTPC, which has a i3-2105 CPU, an MSI mAXT mobo and 2x4GB RAM - 4GB being used for RAM Disk. My desktop, which has a Athlon IIx2 240e in an ASUS mATX 785G mobo and 4x4GB and 2x2GB RAM. Is this the most sensible thing to be doing? For instance, would it make more sense to use the i3-2105 for the desktop and use the the Athlon IIx2 240e in the HTPC instead? Or could I use either of the CPUS in a mini-itx mobo for the new client? [/QUOTE]
