Re: HTPC build recommendations

I have had four main HTPCs over the years, but didn't really set them up for proper gaming. 1st - a Atom ITX, great for 720p content at the time, 1080p was a no go. 2nd - an Atom with Nvidia ION gpu, much better than above. Started to struggle with streamed content, killed off as I wanted to do some …

I wouldn't worry too much about the changes. Maybe unless I really use bluetooth because the Pi3B's bluetooth suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Putting a variant of RetroPie on the thing then gloating in every mini-console article is overrated though. There's got to be a term for those.... Agree with you there, …

Excellent, i'll pick one up so it can live in a box with the other seven I have.... Joking apart I built this not so long ago...

TNT2 M64 is on the weak side though it is a good choice when everything gets to be too expensive or hard to get but the GF2 might be the better choice for dos as it uses DDR. Actually, the GF2 MX can have either 128-bit SDRAM or 64-bit DDR RAM. Speed is identical (obviously, since bandwidth is the …

As others have stated try the other slots. I had a load of audio problems with the card in the lowest slot on the board, it must share resources with something else. Moved one slot up and it was fine.
