New HTPC Build Performance Issue (Linux) - stevee2112 - 2013-07-28
I recently built a HTPC with the following components:
Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3 Intel H61 Express Chipset Mini ITX DDR3 800 Intel - LGA 1155 Motherboard
Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor G860 3.0 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623G860
8 gigs ram
Running XBMC on ubuntu server 12
The issue I am having is XBMC is running at 100% cpu and video playback is all but impossible and is chugging.
I was under the impression that the CPU had an integrated GPU and would be able to handle all XBMC could throw at it.
Basically, Looking for advise on if what I have is simply under powered and I will need to by a graphics card or if there is something else going on (bad drivers, mis configuration, etc)

For anyone interested I was able to fix the video issue with the build outlined.
The key was a step that I assumed was not imported but is VERY import from the wiki page: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114368
sudo adduser xbmc video
sudo adduser xbmc audio
sudo reboot
Lesson learned!
