Some simple XBMC Live questions
#1
Hi.

My HTPC is a Zotac ID-41 with the Ion2 chipset. Currently I'm running Windows 7 64bit, but I have a few problems:

- XBMC Playback skips (looks like it's fast-forwarding) every 10-20 seconds for 200 milliseconds.
- When sabnzbd runs par2 on a file, XBMC lags because of IO usage since Win7 can't prioritize that.

My questions are:

Will XBMC Live support ION2? This page:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_Live

Doesn't mention ION at all. Google gives me some forum results from 2009, so I don't think that's relevant anymore.

Also, should I use this "XBMC Freak" livecd instead?:

It says it includes support for ION, but the site looks sketchy and I'm not sure I trust it.

Thanks!

Personally if your looking to just run a XBMC on your ID41 I would reccomend OpenElec...

Im running a ID41 on OpenElec and its awesome.
Super quick to boot, and simple to run and maintain.
