Hey Eskro will the A6-3500 be able to do it all too? Just like the A8-3850? Looking at the price difference and this one looks like a winner.
Read your guide.... duh yes it can!

Thank you so much for updating your guides....

Now I am debating on this and the A8-3850....

oh yeah, the A6-3500's 2850 CPU passMARK
definitely indicates that it'll handle anything!!

My current Triple-Core AMD 435 RANA CPU has a MARK of 2597
and it just does it all Flawlessly!!

i dunno if i should try this build since im not totally happy with mine

this is my htpc right now ::
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=8...post841972 but with a hd5450

i like the fact i can use the i gpu and get a smaller case and maybe use a pico psu
and i can always recycle my current system as a unraid server

well everything is fine 90% at most, my only problem is hdmi connection is lost when the refresh rate change, only when i enable the option '' match display to video refrash rate''

exemple:: im in home menu of xbmc at 60hz i chose a movie then my display show ''searching for signal'' 3 second later image appear in 24hz same thing happen if i stop the movie to go back into the menu 24hz --> shearching for signal --> menu in 60hz

its annoying as hell

my first setup build from left over part (but with the same video card) was working 100%
(athlon x2, Helwet pakard motherboard, 2go ram, hd5450.
no problem at all, same hdmi cable same denon avr 2809 to a samsung pn50b530

when tried my new setup it worked just like the old one but suddently the hdmi connection problem show up like 1 week later.. i tried everything from xbmc reinstall to wiped clean ssd and clean win7 install ...

I think this has to do on what tv you own. I have tried the '' match display to video refrash rate'' and it goes to 24hz and wait 3 seconds.... but I do get a green flicker when it goes to 24hz also.... but I never use '' match display to video refrash rate'' always watch in 60hz..

does the behavior you describe BEER happend also
with your ATI GPU?

im starting to wonder if Nvidia is culprit for these

- macroblocking while FF or RW (seems confirmed it is)
- 120Hz TrueMotion enabled HDTV's judder/stutter
- Refresh Rate switch from 24 to 60 or vice versa isnt instant
