[QUOTE="SmokeWatcher, post: 225598, member: 43093"] Well I'm thinking about wiping my hard drive and reloading the software on my dedicated HTPC, since I'll be adding some new hardware soon. I'm ghosting it before starting...just in case! I plan to upgrade my current video card to a GeForce FX 5950, add a dual tuner card to compliment the existing PVR 150 card, and also try to get the on-board sound to work again (to free up another slot). I'm running BeyondTV with MediaPortal (which could also use an upgrade to the latest version). Right now I have Windows set to auto-install critical updates...and I haven't had any issues so far. My question is should I continue with the auto-updates, or stop at SP2? My thoughts are M$ will force-download any patch it want anyways...but I don't want to over-burden my HTPC with more "gunk" either. I appeal to all you HTPC gurus out there...:D [/QUOTE]
