[QUOTE="OnkelChris, post: 416009, member: 58530"] ok... i think i can add a little bit. my vista MP is running since monday. my hardware: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H AMD Athlon X2 3800+ 1GB RAM 500GB WD Green HDD Nova-T 500 DVB-T Antec Fusion Micro 350 Philips SRM5100 Remote this is how i configured the Vista Business SP1 x86: - installed vista - installed drivers - run windows update - uninstalled some useles windows-built-in features e.g. printer, tablet-pc... - deactivated some services e.g. firewall, defender, security center... - energy options on maximum, so there is no screensaver or standby - registered MPC-HC video codec - installed MP - installed eventghost and messageplugin (the srm5100 has no "repeat" in MP... with eventghost there is no need for the replacement driver and for the basic functions of the remote it's more than enough) - added some features e.g. comskip, mencoder... - configured the soundcard for exclusive mode (seems to be important in vista using digital out) that's all for using MP... if u want to use BluRay you have to do some more installation/configuration. hope this will help some people out there ;) btw: i think, winXP is the better choice for a HTPC. hope i can try win7 next week. will give some response, when i am finished with that :P [/QUOTE]
