What kind of video files will benefit from 2 MB more memory? Are you using 1080i desktop?
I'm using 720P desktop. I can barely play some Xvid encoded 720Re HDRip files (usually a 4.3 GB file) and don't upscale to 1080i. For other Xvid files below 720Re (540Re 700 MB TV episodes or 1.4 GB movies), enough memory for XBMC to upscale to 1080i. And even some H.264 encoded 480P Apple HD movie trailers play ok. Strange thing is I found no x.264 files even at 480Re play smoothly. They suppose to use lessn CPU than H.264 Apple trailers.
I'm interested in your experiences. Thanks.
