HTPC newbie / AMD issue - Dragonlance - 2011-12-29 10:56
Hi Eskro, this is my first post after reading a tons of thread about xbmc and which system should be w/o problems.....
I really appreciate Ur big work and 'fore buy my new hardware i tried an "old" machine [C2D, amd/ati 4670 hdmi, 2GB ddr2 and so on..] to experiment some linux build.
The results aren't really good because under the live distro i got many stuttering problems and under a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10 i can't hear anything more than 2ch
My question to u is quite simple: is the A6 build (i choosen the group 7) free of problems installing Ubuntu + XBMC or should i get a Nvidia card?
Ty again 4 ur work.

why dont u try openELEC with your old machine first?
- Dragonlance - 2011-12-30 00:00
I'll do tomorrow. Now I'm too tired to get another match with issues...
Btw my "old" machine is for test only, that's why i ask'd U about the hardware builds.. I'm scared to fight against compatibility, drivers, operating system, patch and so on instead watch movies
Ty again for your courtesy.
- eskro - 2011-12-30 00:04
right on!

Now I'm too tired to get another match with issues...If you don't want headache, this very small form factor AMD A6-3600 "Gateway SX2370-UB30P" will playback all your BD files in full 1080P video and bitstreaming DTS-HD/TrueHD audio to your AVR via HDMI. It is very well equipped with all the latest technology (Windows 7 is included too) for $349. It is ready for XBMC out of the box.

I'm back with good news
With openElec finally it works!!!! I'm really happy and i'm trying all kind of files to test it but it's really cool
Ty Eskro 4 your help!
Now i'm ready to build the new HTPC, probably a a6/micro atx 'cause i wish to add the TV / PVR funciton.
@bluray: It's a good idea, tnx. I'll keep in mind! Now i'm pretty busy with addons, skins and test
Last but not least i must shop from EU.
GJ guys!! ty all!
