[QUOTE="Khryo, post: 63736, member: 11413"] [b]Hardware update[/b] Well, long time I have been working on my HTPC. In fact, I spent lot of time trying to fine tune the dvd playback quality, and most of the time it was ok , but for some reason I had bad framerate on particular movies. As I said ealier, the CPU wasn't fully supported on my Motherboard -which was at that time the only one I found on Micro-ATX format , and accepting the CPU. I had to use a software which tried to handle the CPU clockrate and so on ... well , I still had some problem with this solution. This month, I decided to change this and finally found a new Motherboard which fully support the mobile athlon 64 , with a 754 socket and still have the AGPx8 port ( my dream so I don't have to change my video card riser, and the video card ). This board is the ECS K8M800-M2 ([url]http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?DetailID=605&MenuID=21&LanID=0[/url]). I got the version 2.0 and it works like charm. This MB detect the CPU at bios time with the right CPU clockrate, and Windows XP see it as a 3000+ Athlon 64 without any software or driver. In fact, this MB support the Cool'n'quiet technology. Well, today , I'm doing a fresh new installation of my Windows XP (special install for MP with nlite) and I already see the dvd playback is smooth on the dvd I had problems before. So, for only few 50â‚¬ , problems solved and it s clearly a reborn of my HTPC ;) [/QUOTE]
