[QUOTE="KidKiwi, post: 18393, member: 13982"] Hi - I'm wondering what a good spec would be for a HTPC - something that is going to get a resonable amount of longevity without buying the latest, coolest, loudest, wizz-bang thing out there. Not much point spending unnecessary money on overkill hardware when it can be better spent on music or DVD's. Any reason to buy Intel over AMD (I'm leaning toward AMD at present). What about RAM speed? (Last time I brought a puter there seemed to be only two types). What about dual-core chips - any reason to go for them? The HTPC will be stand-alone, used mostly for HD-based DVD watching, TV recording (Say 4 tuners), pics and music. Have I forgotten anything? Thanks for your input - KidKiwi [/QUOTE]
