[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 853133, member: 109222"] Hi. Most important thing on such systems is GPU. The ID80 has a Nvidia GT520 which really is a good choice for HTPC Usage. You can choose between DXVA and CUDA. Next best is AMD HD 6130 from all E350/E450 systems (like all AMD-ATI GPU it's DXVA only). Then comes the ION2 GPU, than the first generation ION. Both can make use of DXVA and CUDA but their overall performance is not as good as HD6130. Lower GPU are not enough for 1080i playback at all. The CPU is not that important as you always can switch to less power consuming Skins. E.G don't use StreamedMP, get yourself one of the PureVisionHD skins. This will speed up system enough to give a nice interface feeling. Nevertheless it's better if the CPU has as much power as possible in this segment. [/QUOTE]
