I have based the computer on your guide.. But the problem is that i do not have all the parts available from where I live. And I do not want do wait for weeks because of the shipping time.. I have switched the mainboard from ASUS P8H61 to H67, but should I use the H61? Only reason I switched is because someone said it does not support hd bitstream.. Do I really need hd bitstream with my external USB soundcard? And the other thing is the GPU.. I only have the ZOTAC GT 210 SYNERGY 1GB DDR3 available and not the ZOTAC GT210 512MB DDR3 you recommended, But the only difference I can see is that my Gpu has twice the memory.. And one more thing.. How much watt do I need on my PSU? Is 400 enough for the 1GB GPU? - lubbelu - 2012-02-29 . - jackh - 2012-02-29 It will be just fine for Linux. My machine is very similar, but using a H61 mobo and a G530 processor. Plays full HD smoothly and responsively. I feel the i3 is an overkill, but that depends or your needs. For GPU, also have a nVidia 210 1GB (this one from ASUS). The whole package works very well under Linux Mint. 400W PSU will be more than enough. - lubbelu - 2012-03-01 jackh Wrote:It will be just fine for Linux.

If you have 5 more minutes, take a look at this post of mine, and see in detail how well it is working - eskro - 2012-03-01 forget about bitstreaming HD Audio with Linux as of today.. its a windows thing for now - lubbelu - 2012-03-01 eskro Wrote:forget about bitstreaming HD Audio with Linux as of today.. After reading alot of forums.. I still wonder.. Will my Usb Digital Audio Converter (Hegel HD2) be able to get ALL sound from OpenELEC? |
