I was wondering if the reason my Side scrolling and slow loading Thumbs and Fanart could be the result of having all my media stored on a "WD My Book 1TB" external HDD/USB.

My PC:
Nvidia ION 330 Atom
2GB Ram 512 Dedicated to the Ion
Windows 7 x64

Everything will be cached locally so it shouldn't be that unless you're using a skin that pulls images from the video folder.

So all the images for thumbs and fanart are stored locally? Good point. Thanks for the reply Hitcher I don't know why I didn't think that. Just one of those late nights. Guess the Atom just doesn't have enough umph. But Alaska is the best running skin on a atom yet, so great job Hitcher!

hi, could i ask the specs of the computer your running xbmc on? Just im thinking of buying an acer revo but not sure if it will be powerful enough.
thanks

I've found that fanart heavy skins and large images can put a strain on my graphics hardware. I have a HD3200 integrated graphics chip on my motherboard. Pretty much on par with the 9400 series from nvidia.

The ion while a nice chip, isn't the fastest either :/
