[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 938909, member: 109222"] Hi. Same setup here, no problems. Intel C2D E2200, GT 430 HDMI @1080 to TV, SPDIF to AVR... This is enough. I have 6 GB build in but use 3 GB as RAM Disk so I'm using 3GB, what did not make a big difference. I believe this is the case. Maybe you have problems with your Timeshift Drive so there is the point to look at. As you did not have enough RAM you can't test RAM Disk for that, so you need to change Timeshift folder to another HDD for testing. If I were you I would buy another 4 GB of RAM and set up RAM Disk for Timeshifting rather than buy a new GFX card... I'm using drivers (would not work without;) ), did not exactly know which one (I think my sys specs are up to date there), but normal drivers from NVidia Website. They are a bit older as I never encountered any problems with. I've changed them time to time (if I think of and have time to do so), but never got any issues at all. All hacks on drivers (e.G. Quadro drivers) are leading to more problems than benefits, not my way. If you change to ATI you really will be in "Driver Hell" for sure, as AMD drivers are extremely buggy all the time... I had used ATI all my "HTPC- Live" and changed to NVidia GT430 1.5 years ago as I can't stand any longer the tons of driver issues AMD could not fix.
