Hi.
Yesterday I've replaced my old bedroom system (ZBox ID41) with the new one (Sapphire Edge HD3).
Both of the systems have 4gb ddr3 sodimm 1333 + ssd (have only one, so moved it to the new system).
Old system had XBMCbuntu (Eden) installed, new one had OpenElec (Fusion version, latest beta).
So far looks more responsive in every way.
Had to manually set HDMI audio (only detected analog) but might be because I've connected it through a 3-to-1 HDMI hub. Still working on that...
Another thing - the fan on the HD3 was really REALLY annoying.
Apperently Sapphire set it up (in the BIOS) to be at 60 degrees max, but the system idles at 65 :-)
So changing it to 80 degs put the system dead silent during playback.
See this.
Now for some pics :
