All,
Right now my PC has following configuration -
Intel Pentium D 2.8Ghz
2 GB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia Geforce GT 520 graphic card
Asus Xonar STX
I have connected video out thru HDMI from graphic card to TV.. Using STX for stereo out.. So questions here are -
1. How to maximize the utilization of graphic card for a better/smoother video playback? Whenever i play 1080p ripped movies, CPU utilization goes UP even after m using a dedicated graphics card..
2. Any better media player than Pot Player (i am using it right now with Madvr) ?
3. Is this configuration enuf for making it HTPC ?
4. Does older motherboard supports DDR3 RAM ? I may get 4GB RAM if it supports DDR3... BTW, how to know the motherboard model ? It has Intel(R) 945G family chipset..
Thanks in advance..
