[QUOTE="TiredHornet, post: 852900, member: 100624"] Hi guys My first HTPC is getting kind of old. Or at least it kinda feels that way. So I was wondering what would be the best/cheapest way the upgrade for better performance. Here are the current specs: CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4850e @ Scythe Ninja Mini Mainboard: Asus M3N78 with NVIDIA GeForce 8300 Ram: 2x 1GB DDR2 HHD1 (System + MePo): Seagate 80GB 5400 RPM HHD2 (Media): WD 1TB EADS 5400 RPM OS: Windows 7 x86 MePo: 1.2.1 Skin: Avalon While the system plays even FullHD videos quiet nicely, the MePo GUI is sort of sluggish. I think the best upgrad would probably we to buy a better GPU (e.g. Geforce 520) and an SSD. But what do you guys think? A input is greately appreciated. Cheers TiredHornet [/QUOTE]
