[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 100835, member: 25562"] I didn't really know what I was doing when I started building my HTPC and I went with a Celeron D 3.2 GHz. It's way more power than I ever need and it's kind of hard to cool. On the plus side, it was really cheap and helped me build a decent system for under 400 USD so that's a plus. If I had it to do again I'd go with a lower clocked AMD chip I think. I'm curious about Dual Core processors. Are they worth the money? My MP system seldom does more than one processor-intensive thing at a time and the Vid card/GPU handles a lot of the complicated things that it does. What's the best place to spend extra money on an HTPC? Faster hdds? Graphics card? Silent cooling? [/QUOTE]
