It's up to your decision. Biostar or Asrock both are low end mobo. If i choose,i would get Asrock rather than Bisotar.I think 2.4GHz proc is able to setup as HTPC as my current old school S423 is putting in living room as a HTPC too. It's good if you have amplifier + sound systems.

Your rig can't handle? My current rig can handle 720p movies well. Between you may try Core AVC.

If not going for o/c,it's fine to stay at stock coolers.

720p with 8k bitrates are okay, best to use it with CoreAVC

Surprised that most of the old S478 members are still here Time has passed and I've moved on to an X2 already, and my trusty P4 rig handed down to my younger sibling.

P4 still rocks though, still able to play L4D

Hi mate,long time not seeing you here already. Currently your rig still run in o/c mode ? What game is L4D ?Have never heard..

left 4 dead, nice game thoug CS+resident evil=winrar!

Recently toned it down a little. I'm still on stock cooling for my proc, and the when the fan goes up to maximum RPM he whole casing and table starts to rattle... scary.

Yup, Left 4 Dead. Are there any Malaysian private servers around

For me, KMPlayer + coreAVC makes the miracle when I was still in P4 era. Still keeping the .mkv files that Edmin uploaded for testing purpose few thread ago, i think is last V4 or V5 if im mistaken.

With my previous setup, 2GB RAM + 3.2Gh clocked to 3.6Ghz.. With and without coreAVC makes around 20-25% diff. Without coreAVC the CPU load is 95-100%, with coreAVC core load only around 70-85%.

how do i activate coreavc to be used in mkv files? i dont see it turn up below

@Jcsy

If ur using KMplayer then u google for the guide. Actually very easy. If MPC then i dont know lo.. Ask Edmin, I think he is using that.

My mkv test file not bad mah....

@fylon,i just notice that you have a shit list under your signature. The trader ffk you? I'm lazy to read your thread.

Actaully my Core AVC installed not sure it's being used or not. I'm using MPC to play movies.

Shinjite, you still have the link for your MKV test file?

I think he is pointing at the animation which he share to us very long time ago. After i've formatted my pc,i lost the file too. Maybe later can download it and test.

@ray
Haha.. My shit list? Its a damn long story lo.. Lazy to explain. Just click on the link man. : But anyways, gotten all my $ back and now case closed.

u're MPC user too? Anyways, got chance should give KMplayer a try. For me is greater then MPC and have much much more functions then MPC. Comes with build-in codec too. A worth one to try.

@colinwong89
Just realized that ur D43 running on 3V.. Can it take such high vram?

I guess he runs on 3V is because of the BH5 chips. Seems like it's a bit over for the D43 chips. KM player?I will give a try on it later. Meanwhile Gong Xi Fa Cai to all members here.

@Ray

Haha... Thats danger for D43 man.. 2.95v is enough to kill it already. Not to say 3.05.

Oh yea, the kmplayer is from korea. A nice one for me.. Use it to player all sort of files without any external codec pack install. Currently only install coreAVC for better decoding for HD files.

Actually, I've ran those same D43 chips on 3.3v when I had my NF7, but I toned it down since the chips didn't require that much voltage. Anyway, it is stated in the specifications manual that 3.3v is the max voltage the chips can tolerate.

wow in the manual it actually tell u the max voltage it can OC ?

haha

Maybe he mean the specification table for the ram?


I have a question, is KM Player same like K-Lite Mega codec pack? I read the changes on the KM Player and it mention "New Codecs have been updated". Or this KM Player is just a stand-alone player without any codecs?
