How bad is it to have the server and client on same cpu.... I finally got the machine up and going and it is taking 15 min to boot up and the remote works and doesn't work i am very confused about what is the best system to use i have vista ultimate would it be better to install vista basic or xp pro. with xp the tuner did not map channles correctly it didn't give them numbers it gave hexadecimal codes. and i could get that I have been back and forth with the os about ten times i have any os at my disposal and would like to know what is recommended for my setup. i love the idea of mediaportal it is everything you could want a mediacenter to be. it took a while to get the epg working and i have heard if you don't use the paid grabber nothing else would work right well i got that down pat now just need to know what the answer for my questions is for this setup. thanks tigersax p.s. as a side note if the server needs to be stand-alone then what is the min good quality requirments for the server i have a bunch of p3 and other p4s around but ram is an issue....
