[QUOTE="yogiman_uk, post: 95308, member: 22611"] HI everyone It seems to me that there is a bit of a problem arising here. MP is of course the best thing since Apple pushed WISYWIG but there seems to be a fundamental issue here with regards to speed. We all want to put MP in the living room (Yes?) but we don't want a noisy pc in the living room (True?) so would it not be better to optimise MP for processors as slow as possible thus reducing the cooling problems thus reducing the fans in the computer? For example, I remember playing back DVD's on a Celeron 500 so why does MP require 1.4 or better, I had a 32mb Matrox video card in the computer at the time so why does MP want a DirectX 8/9 video card & 64/128 MB ram? This is not a critisisum it's just an observation I think MP is fantastic but how good would it be if I could run it on a Fanless ITX VIA Main Board without the need for a dinosaur of a video card? Keep up the good work all you programmers! You really are #1 in my book and deserve every compliment you get! Cheers Yogiman! [/QUOTE]
