[QUOTE="Bram, post: 71573, member: 17179"] A AM2 motherboard and processor is even better. It won't cost very much extra and is a lot faster. On a S754 motherboard the memorycontroller is in the CPU. This means you can't have dual channel memory and the bandwith is shared with the processor. S939 significantly is faster and AM2 is a little faster then S939. Speed also depends on what processor and how much memory you choose to buy. The faster the better. 1GB RAM is recomendable (although it will run fairly good with 512MB). HD movies will minimaly need a 2GHz processor for a good framerate. I think you'll regret not buying a faster motherboard for almost the same price within half a year.... If you choose to buy S754. You'll probebly want to keep up with the developmentrate of MP the comming year :) If you are looking for the best price/quality rate when buying a remote control....there is only one option.......the Microsoft MCE remote. There are no better remotes for that price. I don't use a keyboard with MP, so I can't advise you on that. The remote offers me all I need for now. [/QUOTE]
