True but there is a big difference between a frame drop every 4 minutes and every 9 hours or whatever it was with a nvidia gpu. It helps make purchase decisions

Was playing with the settings today. "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" on. "Vertical blank sync" gets rid of the tearing so will leave that on. "Sync playback to display" didn't really do anything. What ever option I picked I'm still getting judder in everything but the 30 fps video (vertical bars from the post before). I have Sanyo PLV-Z700 which I guess is 60Hz lcd and I guess it will only do 30 fps without judder...
I guess I might as well leave "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" on off and run everything on 60Hz.
Judder is not really noticeable in most movies, and only if I'm looking for it anyway...

1. Update Intel latest driver from here- Automatically identify and find drivers
3. Disable DXVA2 and select Software as Render method and disable everything else in XBMC system/video/playback
4. Disable "Use fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" in XBMC system/system/vdeo output
2012-09-10, 04:34
I don't use fullscreen window. Don't recommend using it either.
The latest drivers are not always the best.
Do agree with disabling DXVA2.

Ha! much better, thanks guys! (running software as render method, vaapi - off, Vertical blank sync - let driver decide, Adjust display refresh rate to match video - on)
On another note, once every couple boots I'm getting machine check error right after the bios screen. Per recommendation in

run memcheck, but no errors. Will look into prime95 next.

Frame rate still shows 23.98, but that number is rounded to 2 places. Now that I have xbmc set to software render and no acceleration the number moves around sometimes but it always stays rounded to 2 places.
Anyone knows how to change that to 3 places?

-Connects your system this way- Intel HTPC HDMI output to Onkyo HDMI input, and then Onkyo HDMI output to HTV HDMI input via two HDMI cables
-Update Intel latest driver from here- Automatically identify and find drivers
-Disable DXVA2 and select Software as Render method and disable everything else in XBMC system/video/playback
-Disable "Use fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" in XBMC system/system/vdeo output
-Follow the instructions in the SETUP section of this thread to configure XBMC- Windows How to Bitstreaming using XBMC.........

Sorry, I forgot to mention one crucial information in my setup. I am using XBMCLive (installed) and also tried openelec. I have few windows PCs and XBMC works fine on those(HDMI audio also). This machine I am trying to make like a Set Top Box with quick boot (openelec boots in 7 seconds).
This PC is strictly for Media Room, and I want to be able to boot it quickly and also keep the cost down. We all know what happens when we build Media Room, drained wallets
Anyways, my setup clarification
MotherBoard: Asrock B75M
RAM: 4GB Kingston Hyper X
CPU: Celeron G540
Pico PSU
OS: XBMCbuntu, initially tried openelec (with same results).
Any help would be high appreciated..

The only concern I had was dust and how open that top is with all the perforations.
I suppose dust can be a problem no matter the openings in a case.
Years ago I went to hospitals to work on their equipment.
The cases would be jammed full of cotton fibers and cotton dust particles.
Hospitals were actually the one place where equipment suffered the most.
