[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1020092, member: 76888"] Scythe said: "If your HTPC is just for Mediaportal only and nothing else, then it would work." I imagine that it is not worth the hassle, whenever you want to upgrade change something etc, it's often useful to be able to use say internet explorer, or copy some files etc etc... I'm always find myself using my HTPC for non MePo things. Maybe quickly checking my gmail, because the lounge is warmer than the computer room, etc.. Your HTPC should use S3 Sleep or hibernate so if you only use delay on booting then it shouldn't matter. Once mediaportal has loaded there is no cosmetic difference :p your HTPC has plenty of grunt, I bet it doesn't even notice it is running windows stuff in the background. [/QUOTE]
