[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 426270, member: 91446"] Thank you both of you for your comprehensive answers. My fathers PC will be an E7400 dual core on a motherboard with an onboard 9400 GT (as apposed to my AMD 3200+ which to be honest I think is doing pretty well considering it can cope with full HD etc). I think the advice that they will be much of a muchness means that I will probably stick with XP since as you say, I know the system well and I can give far better support to him over the phone (it will no doubt happen). XP is also cheaper, so that is another bonus. Regarding Windows 7, I am well out of the loop on new windows software. I am a bit of a recent Mac convert (got a Macbook recently) so as long as the OS gets the most of out the HTPC I am happy. (please don't all have a go at me for loving Macs :P) Cheers for the advice Robbo100 [/QUOTE]
