Hi
Does anyone tested the new Zotac Zbox ID82 with xbmc?
I really want to buy this HTPC but only if 1080p works fine with xbmc.
I saw previous good feedback with older Zbox models but this one has the new Intel HD Graphics 3000 with shared memory. Should be good enough but I would like to hear from someone who already test it.
Thanks

In did the graphic card may be better but ID80 only supports 4GB of 1066 RAM and has a 2.13 Atom processor.
ID82 has a better i3 core processor at 2.2 GHz and supports 16GB of 1333 RAM. This is why I would like to see a benchmark with this models or at least know from some one who test it already. |

If you are planning for bitstreaming HD audio, you need to check with Zotac. Most of their pre-built PC's don't support bitstreaming.....just a thought!
HD3000, GT520 and AMD HD5xxx are capable of bitstreaming, but Zotac mobo and firmware might not allow it...... >Alienware X51- do it all HTPC >Simplify XBMC configurations >HOW-TO Bitstreaming using XBMC I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio! |

Thanks for all replies.
In did I'm still waiting for a Zotac answer concerning Bitstreaming HD-Audio. Not sure if they don't answer because ID82 don't support it or if it is a forum support problem. I'm not the only one looking for this Baselaa, does your zbox id80 supports bitstreaming HD Audio? |

I got the confirmation from Zotac Support that ID82 supports Bitstream HD Audio through HDMI output.
