[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15578"] first of all, many thanks for the reply. :) ... and given that this is the main reason I want the box, that's of great concern. :( Hmmm, well I have another box that can use the ram if it won't help, so worst case is the backup box has a bit more pep. So far so good; it's working like a charm right now with the base OS install. very responsive, and like I say, deadly quiet. Yeah, I have hardware around for that, just didn't want to have to have something out all the time (calculating the Wife Acceptance Factor includes wirey messes in the living room). it's just that for everyday usage (scheduling recordings and the like), we'd like to not have to drag out a keyboard and/or mouse... Yeah, I'm going to go with the 250, since no real benefits to the hardware decoder and I have no need of radio. Worst case I can use it in another box, grab a small shuttle pc or something. we'll see. I also will give the radeon 9250 a try for the vid card, since the 128mb version is fanless and pci. really hoping I can get this box to work though... :? [/QUOTE]
