[QUOTE="Songok, post: 520171, member: 98604"] I just got one of these 2 days ago and am delighted with it. My concerns were: 1. fan noise 2. cpu power 3. remote control issues. I have win 7 32bit runing. I have overclocked the cpu to 2.1ghz stable for 6 hours on prime 95. It was plenty fast at 1.6 but very very snappy now! I whipped out the 320gig drive and put in a faster 7200rpm drive as this is the bottleneck in the system under general usage. The new firmware is great: supersilent fan setting enabled and led's disabled. I am using the xfactor skin with moving pictures and mp-tvseries plugins. One of the best features about the 330 i have found is the "instant boot" software that comes with it. Means instant access to mediaportal home screen from standby. I stream 1080p .mkv files from my server with no issues. i have Core avc codec decoding on the ion gpu so processor never breaks a sweat. Usually ~15% usage. Overall, a great choice for a silent but powerful htpc solution [/QUOTE]
