Do you have slow response in XBMC? Check your video card!

I narrowed down my HTPC software to XBMC and MediaPortal. I got them both installed on a system that meets specs for both pieces of software. I really liked the overall feel/flow of XBMC, but it sucked up 100% of CPU, then menu navigation was pretty laggy, and movies would be jittery. I tried lots of things to fix it in the OS and XBMC and nothing worked.

I then went to Media Portal and it didn't have any issues at all playing the movie. I dont' like the interface as much and I had an extra vid card laying around. It's actually the same family as the original card, but has 128MB RAM, is AGP (versus PCI) and better GPU. After installing it I fired up XBMC and WOW what a difference!!!! Snappy response in all menus and the movie played without a hitch!!

If you are having issues with slow menu response, high CPU utilization and jittery movie playback, it could be your video card. 64MB PCI won't cut it, try a newer card.
