Hello all,
I just built my first HTPC this last weekend, and I'm still working the kinks out. So far I've been able to get everything to my liking except for one thing: Playing back 720p .mkv files is sluggish. The framerate periodically drops due to the cpu being to heavily taxed. Here's my specs:
CPU: Celeron D 356 - 3.33 GHz
Motherboard: Intel D945GTP
Memory: 1GB Corsair Value Select
Monitor: Samsung 46" DLP
I was pretty sure these parts could do 720p playback without problem when I ordered them. So I have something incorrectly configured. Any suggestions?
