Hi,
I have always used XBMC on the original Xbox but its starting to creak as more and more content is bigger than 2GB and HD resolution. I have a Sumvision Cyclone MKV 2 which is handling the new content fine, but I have been spoilt by XBMC GUI and the Cyclone is just not giving me the same wow factor. My desktop PC is a Dell with Dual Core AMD Opteron 1214 2.2oGhz procs, 4GB Ram running Win7 32bit. It outputs to 2x22" monitors using a NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT adapter. If I was to install an additional Graphics Adapter with HDMI out (NVIDIA GeForce GT 430) could I run XBMC with it outputing to this card and on to my AV Receiver? Audio out would be SPDif from the soundcard. As i cant be working on my PC in the office and watching TV in the lounge there wil not be any conflict of interest re processing power. Any help/suggestions gratefuly received.
Regards
AndyG
