[QUOTE="megahorst, post: 1145173, member: 22213"] My X8 is arrived. What I have mentioned right now: It carries the Mediaportal 1.0 GUI without any performance problems. But: I have seen mentioned that it is dropping frames when it becomes hot. (mentioned with 720P material, haven't test other sources) I need to investigate this. Perhaps additional cooling is a solution. Standby at the X8 is not the same as you know it from a "normal PC". It uses the so called "connected standby". S3 and S4 are not supported, even if you disable the connected standby. (I have tried this myself) You can check this with the "powercfg -a" command at the windows command prompt. This brings some disadvantages to for at least MePo 1 users: [LIST] [*]From the MePo GUI you can trigger the PC to go to S3 or S4. This leads to a crash at my X8. To bring it back again I have to disconnect it from the power. [*]When PowerScheduler sends the PC to sleep it will be the same (haven't test) [*]If you have mappings at your remote that will suspend or hibernate your X8 you can't use the anymore [/LIST] For some of these there will be workarounds. But this shows that the new powermanagement features of Windows are a missing feature in MePo 1. I'm not sure about MePo 2. What else: There are options for WOL in the NICs driver but I can't get them working. Please ask, if you have further questions. [/QUOTE]
