XBMC isn't just for you. That's probably the concept you need to wrap your head around.

Why don't you step back and clearly define your requirements and then build your HTPC to meet those requirements? Ultimately, your final setup will be a combination of hardware, operating system and media player.

This is not the problem, I suppose I could find alot of setups that users says that it works flawless but some of these users may not care about litte lag or audio sync. What I would like is a rock solid recommendation page on XBMC website that states setups that will for sure work with XBMC even if im picky about lag or audio sync.
