[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 931004, member: 76888"] Don't upgrade that pc, it will still give you problems with MP even if upgrading. You'd be better off saving for a new htpc from scratch. Your best bet is to use XBMC, preferably the linux version. There is a linux bootcd version of xbmc, called "xbmcuntu" you can download + try from their website, it will run much better than MP on that old hardware. [url]http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMCbuntu[/url] And jameson is right about encoding, you shouldn't encode to mpeg4 h264 as your graphics card won't do hardware acceleration, mpeg2 is best for your situation.
