[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 14945, member: 11550"] Hi all, I have MP working almost perfectly now. There is only a slight stutter every so often, especially when time shifting large amounts or watching a movie while recording TV. My system is an AMD 2500XP with 512Mb of dual channel RAM. The video is the onboard GF400 built into the NF2 chipset. I have 32Mb of RAM allocated to onboard graphics. The HDD is Seagate 80Gb. I want to upgrade something to remove the slight stutter. The choices are- CPU to 3200XP, RAM to 1GB, dedicated video card or newer HD. My system seems to have higher specs than a lot of the others I have seen so there must be something slowing it. What do you guys recommend out of the above list? I have already disabled all the bloat in XP that I can. Most of the options listed above will cost around the same amount but I do need a bigger HDD at any rate. At this stage I am thinking a dedicated video card simply to stop sharing system RAM.
