[QUOTE="Gamester17, post: 81672, member: 10298"] Good question!, I'm curious about that as well, as I have a very small fanless (VIA EPIA MINI-ITX based) PC that (though I haven't tried it) can boot directly from a USB-key, so I don't even need a CompactFlash to IDE/ATA converter, and I got a USB 2.0 PCI-adapter in it which has an internal USB-connector too so can just connect the USB-stick inside the computer via that. However I'm not sure one can fit both the Windows XP Home-Edition or Professional-Edition (or 2003 Server) operating-system and MediaPortal on just 1GB (or 2GB), even with the virtual-memory page-file disabled in windows, (plus I'm not sure how well Windows and MediaPortal run without a virtual-memory). Best would probebly be if one could install and run MediaPortal on [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/"]Windows XP Embedded[/URL] or [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/virtuallabs/windowsce/"]Windows CE 6.0[/URL] (with the [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/"].NET Compact Framework 2.0[/URL]) as those have a much smaller footprint for the Windows operating-system. Speaking about [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/virtuallabs/windowsce/"]Windows CE 6.0[/URL] and the [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/"].NET Compact Framework 2.0[/URL]. Does MediaPortal support the [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/"].NET Compact Framework 2.0[/URL] and run on [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/virtuallabs/windowsce/"]Windows CE 6.0[/URL]?, have anyone tried it? [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/"].NET Compact Framework 2.0[/URL] is not exacly the same as the normal .NET Framework 2.0, they both do the same thing but the [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/"].NET Compact Framework 2.0[/URL] doesn't have all the libraries/classes that the full .NET Framework 2.0 so MediaPortal code might have to altered just a bit to support both.
