Hi guys I'm thinkingof building a new HTPC but I want it to be able to be a gaming console as well. So I just wanted to know what kind of processor and video card do I need to be compared to the PS3 system?

    I guess it all depends on what kind of games you want to play.
    A few days ago, someone told me that his Core Duo E8400(3Ghz) with an Ati 3870/512Mb on Xp is not able to play GTA4 which seems to run fine on a PlayStation.

    I'm not a gamer, so I cannot give you any advice on that.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    MP1 MP2 1.31.0 Cannot view Changelog anymore DE
    Hi all, I don't frequently update my MediaPortal and before seeing if it's really useful I used to browse the Changelog to determine if this update is necessary for my system or not. Today I wanted to check the Changelog for version 1.34 (1.31 installed on my system) and I was asked for a “Jira” login. I tried to use the same one as...

    MP1 MP2 Case Downsizing DE
    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
