Hello guys,
I have two Asrock 330HT machines both with bluray players... they play XBMC ok, but are terrible at streaming HD off sites like Amazon Prime / Netflix / TennisTV.com and even YouTube.
I noticed Opera was noticeably faster than Chrome, but still very stuttery...
TIME TO UPGRADE OR SELL... I would appreciate advice as I would like to avoid spending a huge amount, I have legal copies of Win 8.1 in each of these. Ubuntu 14.04 is no improvement with the speed of web video streaming to browser. I have got a small android tv box, but Flash is a hassle (puffin helps) and Amazon Prime is Silverlight only in the UK... no go on andriod.
So I'd love advice on what mobo/processor/ram combo i should get for that box, it is a Mini ITX board, but I dont know if all 3rd party boards would fit the box I have WRT back output configuration... and if anything else would be more advisable.
Thanks,
Mark.
