Would the E350-M1 work faster/better with or without a GT430 installed rather using the on board graphics?

UI was a big difference going from E350 to my now A6-3650. Night and Day.Have you try to playback Thor blu-ray disc with DTS-HD 7.1 or Transformers: Dark Of The Moon blu-ray disc with TrueHD 7.1 directly on BD-ROM using XBMC? Most of my viewing are full ISO and blu-ray disc.......
So completely opposite to Bluray's response sorry.

It's very simple question, and here it is again "Have you try to playback Thor blu-ray disc with DTS-HD 7.1 or Transformers: Dark Of The Moon blu-ray disc with TrueHD 7.1 directly on BD-ROM using XBMC?"
Pay attention to the words in RED......it don't have to be Thor or Transformer, but it is the two movies I used to test bitstreaming DTS-HD/TrueHD using XBMC since last July version......
If you can playback fluently with your E350 HTPC as stated above, great for you.......

I have Transformers Dark Side with a 7.1 receiver (love it because it's one of the only 7.1 titles I have out of many BR's and a great showcase for audio. One of the other 7.1 BR's I have is Sound of Music LOL). I play Blurays through TMT5 and not a single problem throughout the movie on my E350. I didn't know you could play through XBMC, is that via AnyDVD-HD for realtime decryption? Wouldn't that tax the weak CPU thus causing problems?
I haven't tried ISO as I don't rip my BluRays (I might once I build or expand my WHS as that would be a lot of data). Biggest x264 I've streamed to my E350 over the network was a high bitrate 20Gb MKV w/DTS-MA.
