Hi All,
I am looking at putting together a dedicated HTPC to run MP and be used for streaming x264 from my main pc over LAN. There will be NO tv card in the pc, so the tv scheduling/recording etc is not an issue at all for me
The Spec is
Asus M2A-VM AM2 motherboard
Geforce 6600GT
1gb DDR2
720p HDTV
My question is this. The CPU i was thinking of is an Athlon64 Single Core 3200+, is this enough with the rest to playback x264 mkv files without issue? I will be using Powerdvd with Purevideo acceleration as my codec in Mediaportal's movie player
Any advice v gratefully received
