Hello

I have a Asrock ION 330 with 4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM

I have installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on it and a recent Build of XBMC with DXVA. the movie plays without any problem, it flows with even 1080P.
My problem is that in the Movie library, when i have for axample icon mode and when i browse truth hhe movie icons, it gets slow, the backround picture doesnt popup in time, when i go from one movie to the other movie, i still get the first movies backround for about 2sec beforce the backround picture changes :/

its just to slow!

Does anybody know why?
I think its maybe becouse of the harddrive in my asrock. i have 5400RPM 320GB 8mb cash.

Maybe i should replace it?
i doubt it's i/o bound, even with a 5400 rpm disc. it's cpu bound. you can check the dds stuff in the general discussion forum.
