1)
Can I suggest adding ZBOX-ID80-U to group 7?
It seems a perfect solution with NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M (512MB).
2)
Can you advise how it will differ from ZBOX-ID82-U which has faster CPU but seems weaker with Intel HD Graphics 3000?
(my intention is to build a box for W7/XBMC/bitstreaming/3D)
and what about 24p playback with hd3000?does this issue is resolved to you with the updated it drivers from intel?
RE: Your Very First HTPC? But Where do You Start? - eskro - 2012-04-17 19:10
no its not fully resolved.
on a recent review, INTEL confirmed they failed to fixed this issue even on soon to be Ivy Bridge.

Quote:In our Sandy Bridge review I pointed out that Intel was unfortunately very conservative in one area of the platform: its chipset. Although the 6-series chipset finally brought native 6Gbps SATA to Intel platforms it failed to fix issues with 23.976 fps video playback.

so you are saying that the intel hardware problem,is solved with xbmc software?
RE: Your Very First HTPC? But Where do You Start? - eskro - 2012-04-17 19:51

Check out the last couple posts in this thread- Intel HD Graphics 3000, 24p issues
Check out this page and they discussed HD2000- Macroblocking with new sandy bridge build, dxva2 enabled
