[QUOTE="Decker, post: 69966, member: 23908"] Hi. I'm new here and am just looking for some feedback on my hardware setup for MediaPortal. I have the components listed below. CPU Type: AMD Athlon 2100+ Motherboard: Asus A7A266e (ALi M1647 Chipset) Memory: 512Mb SD PC133 Ram Video Card: Sapphire Radeon 9250 128M DVI TV Card: Leadtek DTV-1000T Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value Sound Card 7.1 HDD: Maxtor 300G 7200rpm ATA133 (16MB cache) DVD: Pioneer DVR-A11XLB Network: DLink DWL-G520 (Wireless) Question is, should this give me full SD functionality (Record, timeshift, playback etc)? What about HD, or is that pushing my luck? If you were looking to tune this setup, what would be the main component you would look at upgrading? My initial reaction is to go for DDR Ram and possibly up the Radeon to 9550. Any thoughts? I'm currently struggling to get this running happy for SD (viewing TV mostly ok, playback not so ok) and am just wondering if I'm trying the impossible. If people think it's possible, I'll keep putting the time into tuning it. If not, what would you change, either for SD or HD? Thanks for any feedback. Brett. [/QUOTE]
