usage? um this HTPC is totally made for movie and pix slideshow only..i can surf and typing word using my lappy..

plus im thinking of using this display device with my incoming PS3 also..
so LCD TV should be better right? with RM3000 budget, what is the recommended brand/model/inch that i can go for?

guys, ive been googling all around, and i found a numerous setting on playing the MKV files..
and i tried those settings, which results sometimes ok, sometimes worst than before.

basically im using a VLC to play them, but ive found that the integrated ffdshow does not utilize the dual core..
right now i am tweaking the Media Player Classic Home Cinema with CoreAVC

so i hope u guys can share the most optimized setting here..
my hardware is like the following:

Intel E7200
Biostar TP43-HP
Gainward HD4850GS
Kingston 2GBx2
Dell S2409W 24" 1920x1080 HD

thx in advance and happy new year

lol..haha..trust me, i am really n00b bout this
so any idea how to configure it using CCC?

i just downloaded the Media Player Classic Home Cinema and Cyberlink PowerDVD 8..
looks like finally both cores are utilized, rather than using vlc last time, which made my 1 core left idle

agreed, my PowerDVD 8 cannot play the MKV files..so i use the MPC-HC instead

guys, im looking for a media centre remote..besides buying it online (here), which shop at lowyat sells it?
my budget is around RM100..the lesser the better

im not sure if its just me..but whenever i use the settings suggested by blindbox, i can see that my HD movies arent sharp enough..it becomes like less colored compared to when i just let it to be default

hey guys..i got a question regarding a pc multimedia remote control..

supposed i buy a tv card that comes along with the remote control, can i use that remote to control my other media as well? (like WMP, Winamp, RM, MPC, VLC etc etc?
