Says who??

I'm running a PNY 630i/7150 Motherboard with an Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz and Stark runs perfect on it. You don't even need a separate sound or video card for it because the motherboard handles it all. You can get the MB and Processor bundle at tigerdirect for $134 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...6&csid=_22

what output do you use? 1080/720?

since my proc is just a little bit slower then yours, but my graphics is much better, and I experience stuttering when changing fanart/background simultaneous as scrolling through the showcase scroller.

Be sure to use one of the XBMC builds supported by Stark and suggested by its' author, not the "latest downloadable" 8.10. Helped to solve the issues in my case, should help you as well.
Cheers
WinXP SP3 - Samsung LE40A656 - Asus P5Q SE/R - Intel Core2Duo E8400 3000MHz - GeForce 9600GT (512MB) - Logitech NumberPad - Samsung Omnia running XBMC HTTP-R (for lack of a better option)

Do you think this cpu / mobo combo will upscale my sd movies using "high quality upscaling" setting with no prpblems.. Im currently using Pentium 4 3.0 ghz and ati 2400 and experience jitter and sound delay when upscaling. I also get fanart delay scrolling on Aeon Stark as well.
