i'd rather exhaust all my options before jumping for an upgrade.
try the media player classic home cinema (mpc-hc) either with or without coreavc to see whether the problem is from the mediaportal or from hardware speed.

Hi, am running 5200+ with 780g mobo (onboard HD3200 gpu); I've no problem with MPC-HC with DXVA enabled for 1080p material, just fyi. You can have the DXVA acceleration in MPC-HC easily.

Best regards

I only have one 320GB HDD (on my newly purchased Mac Mini!).. the rest are Externals connected via USB, Firewire and NAS.
Think I wanna look into one of those Routers with USB ports at the back for storage devices then get one of those casing that can store up to 5 HDDs...

hi azxel,
Would you mind to share ur Mac Mini setup? I've few questions as belows and appreciate if you can enlighten:

- The HDMI can't carry lossless, but can it carry the lossy Dolby & DTS? What about LPCM?
- What front end you runs? XBMC, Mediaportal? Does the hardware acceleration works properly?
- Would it be ok if it's leave running 24/7 as a torrent server as far as the heat concerns?

Cheers
