[QUOTE="pbb, post: 571947, member: 26308"] Hi all, I need to cleanup my home server, and I want give MediaPortal a try again. What is currently the recommended operating system? XP, Vista or Win7? And 32 or 64 bit? The hardware is an AMD Athlon X2 BE-2350 2.1GHz processor with 2x512MB DDR2, PowerColor AX4650 512MB GDDR3 passive graphics card, PowerColor Theater 550 PRO analog tuner card, inside a SilverStone LC16M case with SoundGraph OEM VFD display. Pretty simple stuff, the system is 3 years old. I can see the Theater 550 is not supported by Win7, but I don't mind buying a new tuner card. I won't be doing any DVB or BluRay in the near future. For the rest, the system is being used as a central media backup and remote desktop server for 2-3 people with a concurrent remote desktop hack. And a simple game now and then, Lego Indian Jones is very popular in this house... What would you recommend? [/QUOTE]
