[QUOTE="xenon2000, post: 8848"] Sorry, you are right, I missed that in my quote, just like I didn't mention the $200 cost for Windows XP Pro. Because we were all talking about the cost of hardware. And if you want to talk about savings. The savings of paying $60 cost per frame is huge compared to how much I would have to pay to buy hardware fast enough for FREE MP. I would then have to dump about $250-500 more per frame to even get MP to run fast enough. You also must not have read all my posts, because I did mention that MP is great for opensource, but that it doesn't run as fast as Meedio that cost money and that is probably why they optimize it to run on more people's hardware. But think about it. I either spend $60 for Meedio and run it on my plenty fast enough 500mhz digital frame(s) that cost me about $500 (in hardware) to build. Or I get to use MP for free and it cost me $1000+ to buy a new laptop to rip apart to only use it for images, music and videos. The cost savings are huge with buying Meedio for this specific application. Which is why I use MP on my fast PVR desktop box and why I use Meedio on my 500mhz digital frame. Because those are the logical solutions for each of my 2 very different applications of hardware. But thanks for supporting the notion that Meedio runs the way it does because it cost money. If MP needs to have a payware version in order to improve it's resource requirements, then I am all for that. Maybe there should be MP Free for fast hardware and MP Pay for people that want a faster version of it. I would certainly pay $60 for an MP that was twice as fast, or should I say; required half the 1.4Ghz current requirements for non-PVR functions. I will state again, it's cheaper for me to spend $60 on Meedio for 500mhz hardware for each frame, than it is for me to spend $250-500+ more for faster enough hardware to use MP Free. Same with the windows XP Pro cost; if I really wanted to save more money, I would use Linux for free with MythTV for free. And if (just saying if) Linux and MythTV for free required really fast hardware, then again I would save money with XP and Meedio. [/QUOTE]
