Hi all. I previously had XBMC running on a high-end PC, but got tired of it being loud and clunky, so I put XBMCbuntu on an Acer AspireRevo AR1600-U910H I had lying around. It's currently hooked up to a plasma display via HDMI.
I've got everything up and running, but I've noticed that if I set the resolution to 1080, XBMC will freeze whenever I try to play an HD video. With the resolution set to 720 everything runs fine though.
Has anyone had any experience with this machine being able to run at 1080 without issues? I've seen one can upgrade the memory by a gig or two, so my main question is: would that hardware upgrade more likely alleviate my problem, or would I be better served to explore possible software and setups issues before going for hardware upgrades.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
