[QUOTE="davlaw2000, post: 136758, member: 29751"] Hi all just a general question for the technical experts. I have built an HTPC but it's not really high-spec (AMD Sempron 2400+, Ge Force FX 5600) and as a result it struggles to keep up. This results in lots of stutter and loss of sync when running MediaPortal. I still have an old Sigma Designs Real Magic mpeg2/dvd decoder card from years ago and was wondering whether, if I found the right drivers, it might help to improve performance or not. It's a PCI card and the main chip says EM8300. It was quite expensive in its day but I guess it has no value these days..... Any thoughts? Would it improve things? Any responses, good or bad would be appreciated. davlaw2000 [/QUOTE]
