Thanks so much for this guide.
I ended up putting together an HTPC from the items listed here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=797987&postcount=2
[MOBO+CPU+iGPU] ASRock E350M1 Zacate Dual-Core 1.6Ghz HD6310 ALC892 Mini-ITX
[CASE+PSU] Apex MI-008 Black mini-ITX 250W
[FAN] SilenX IXP-74-09 120mm 800RPM 38CFM 9dBA
[SSD] Kingston SSDNow 30GB 2.5" SATAII Trim Read:180MB/s Write:50MB/s
[RAM] 2x CORSAIR 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 DDR3 1333
I also added a USB Wifi adapter, a blue-ray player, an IR Remote, and an external USB hard drive.
It's running Windows 7 Ultimate 64x.
Everything works perfectly fine, including blue ray movies, and HD content, except for HD netflix. Netflix works fine in SD, but when it switches to HD it really stutters and drops to about 1 frame a second. It's not a network issue as the video is fully cached. I also tried running netflix directly in a browser, and shut down XBMC, but the problem still occurs.
All MB and video drivers are up to date, as well as all windows updates.
Is there something specific I should configure or setup in this build to address this issue?
