Nox is very good for people with Atom+Ion.
You can go for Aeon MQ2 with no problem.

I´m running Aeon MQ with Shuttle XS35GT (Ion, 1GB RAM, SSD, XBMC-live). Works fluently on medium-settings.

With a HTPC like that you want all the bells and whistles so MQ2 is the one for you. BTW that rig is better then my gaming system... Big Grin

I have an ION and originally tried MQ2 when I first got it. It personally put me off Aeon for a good few months. Recently tried Nox and is soooo fast in comparison. Not knocking MQ2, sure it would be the skin of choice on a high-end system but for lower spec it has to be Nox all the way!

I wonder if MQ3 will perform better on lower spec hardware?

I recently got an Emachine ER1401 (AMD dual core 1.3Ghz K325 (slightly better than a Revo R3700), 2GB ram, Nvidia 9200 gpu). I'm running Win 7 x64. I'll give Nox, MQ2 and MQ3 a whirl and see how they perform.

Im running Eden on a ION2 system.
With Aeon MQ3 and it fly's!

Its super quick and really responsive...
