Hello!
After days and ours of reading, i still have some questions.
I want to make an HTPC wich is capable of :
- full 3D 1080P playback
- MAME
- maybe even play a windows game now and then.
I was thinking of these setups:
I3 2100 + video card (gt430 or ati 6570)
or amd processor and GPU unit in one.
But I cant find out what is supported by linux XBMC. What card has better 3D support?
And is linux still the way to go or is win7 also very good?
The holy internet says spec-wise the ati amd setup is better
(A6 or A8 + gpu)
Do the AMD A6 or A8 support full 3D?
if not, what is a better choice, I3 + nividia or ati?
Or something completely different, wait for the next ivy bridge release by intel? (wich will be around april 2012)
I hope you can help me!
