[QUOTE="FlipGer, post: 46275, member: 10293"] Hi, the VIA Epia boards have a crappy onBoard graphics solution. The UniChrome graphics does not support DX9. Its overlay and especially VMR9 renderers do not work well. Since MP uses latest DX9 technologies to render its GUI (like a game) and does only support VMR9 you might (will) get problems. This is because of very bad driver / firmware support by VIA / S3. You should consider to spend your HTPC a DX9 PCI card like ATi 9550 or nVidia 5200. My two cents, Flip. PS: I did have a Epia-M 10000 for some time... [/QUOTE]
