hi guys, i thought i would post this here as i only use the Alaska revisited skin and didnt want to post it in the windows area - as its an Alaska related issue / conversation.
I currently run my system on an ASRock ION 330, with Windows 7, with the content files all streaming from a windows home server box (via 1Gbps network). I havent got around to adding all my movies but am up to about 400 now and i have noticed that the atom cpu is starting to slow down a little when running alaska revisted modes like panel wrap / fixed etc.
I know this can be expected due to the number of movies to display, etc, but I am looking for some recommendations / feedback on HTPC spec(s).
I have noticed in some of Hitcher's you tube videos he has large video collections on display with no "wait" for the thumbnails to display - is this the way Alaska works when you are running a quad core cpu system?
I love the ion chipset, but its the atom CPU where it starts to falls over.
What systems do you guys run your Alaska systems on?
