Can you post the windows experience index?
Another user posted the WEI for a zacate solution. This gives everyone a decent idea on performance between the two platforms.

nice update - just bought the very same machine (but with mech drive pah!) but would be interested to see how tv via ps tuner turns out - seems to be a few knocking about on ebay!

WEI is not really a good indicator how about searching on geekbench/cpubench etc

Have just this minute loaded it up onto my new ND22, (with SSD) and as long as I have not got too many views enabled it was flowing through it with no delay at all and was looking amazing!
Oh, and not sure if you have done it yet, but the only thing it might be worth doing before you install Win7 is to possibly change your mobo setting to AHCI in the BIOS - Am no expert but apparently worth doing for the SSD and is a pain to do after install...
Thanks Andy, it was late last night so I didn't get the time to look into MQ 2.. I will do that over the next few days.
I am testing a few different things at the moment in terms of plugins and settings etc, once I have what I need I will do a fresh install of everything and will look into ACHI too.

The Live TV picture is from the PS3 Play TV Dual Tuner, with an aerial in my loft. Picks up all avaliable digital terrestial channels without a problem

I will once I have finished testing, I want to slighly overclock.. I know not the best idea given the small case but I will see how it works out.

I got one for my PS3 awhile ago and did a quick search for the drivers on Google and works perfectly. However, in time I want a tuner than can also receive HD channels. So far I have only seen the one.

Hello Eskro, is it compatible with live tv at the moment ?
Ideally, in time want to try and use a HTPC as an all in one replacement

WEI gives an overall score on the system whereas the links you have provided are only the CPU scores. If you look at the video benchmarks the HD6310 comes out on top of the ION. So I wonder what the overall WEI is for the ND22?

Yeah you're right but all I'm trying to highlight is that WEI is generally a very poor way to make comparisons.
Think it's high time we had a htpc benchmarking tool

I second that, it would be very useful when looking at system bottlenecks and upgrade options.

Can anyone suggest a good program for video screen capture. Tried a couple of free ones such as camstudio but the colours and performance leave a lot to be desired.
I thought I would post some more pictures of firstly the PVR working and secondly of my media library. Sorry in advance to the veterans.. I know you have seen this all before, it is more for the benefit of new people, especially those that are like I was, viewing the forum as a guest and just toying with the idea of getting a HTPC.
Ok First PVR
