[QUOTE="Smirnuff, post: 18719, member: 10545"] This is probably the major contributor to your poor performance, the reason being that the application relies heavily of DirectX 9 to accelerate the rendering of the UI and for media playback. Without a suitable Designed for DirectX 9 card much of the work that is normally handled by the graphics card is now left to the CPU to perform and hence the CPU has much less time to handle other tasks. Users are having reasonable success with some older cards but this usually results in them not being able to use optimal settings such as VMR9. Some cards that are 'Compatible with DirectX 9' do not suffer from the overall poor performance seen as a result of the CPU handling rendering duties. Consider upgrading to a newer card graphics card, an Nvidia FX5200 or ATI 9600 or above would make an excellent choice - both can be had for a very reasonable price and are also supplied passively cooled which is always nice for a HTPC.
