[QUOTE="Program.X, post: 24533, member: 15773"] Hi all, I have committed myself to building a PC capable of running MediaPortal. I am tech savvy, but mostly software - and the last time I built a PC was when PCI was top of the range, so please bear with me! I want to buy the PC piecemeal, and "phase in" MediaPortal - phasing out the existing gear as necassary. My first step is the mainboard and processor. I have been looking at: [b]ASUS P5GDC-V Deluxe[/b] [url]http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=ASUOA03X0U[/url] Which is a 64-bit board. Is this too much? If I buy this, I take it I will have to have a 64-bit OS to go with it? How much support will exist for 32-bit apps? Will MediaPortal still work using a 32bit .NET Framework? Assuming this is the board to go for, can I assume I can buy any LGA775 processor? Also, what sort of fan will I need for this? Alternatively, if someone can point me to a futureproof 32-bit board/processor that comes with onboard stuff (which I will use for the time being) it would also be very much appreciated. Many thanks.
