changing i3 to i5
#1
My main living room htpc is a home made i3 based system. Would I notice any time of improvement by changing it to an i5?

Highly unlikely. What seems to be the problem now?

There isn't a problem. I heard that playing of ISO's and MVC's is supported, just not hardware accelerated so I thought maybe an i5 would do it better.

Mate! Sounds like "upgraders itch" to me! Cool

What about building a backup server or upgrading your Diskstation?
