As the subject suggests, I'd like to know if upgrading my RAM to 128MB will increase the performance of XBMC when running in 1080i mode.
Please don't flame if this has been asked, I searched a number of different terms and didn't find anything useful.
Advice or a link to a helpful post/artical/tutorial/whatever is greatly appreciated.
I modded my box myself a while ago, maybe 5 years at this point and have done a number of mods for others. I know the 128 upgrade is useful for development, homebrew and running linux but have never attempted it. I don't want to bother until I know it will be worth my while. However, I haven't been able to determine by reading if XBMC will address this extra memory and use it to benefit 1080i operation.
This whole thing was prompted by my recent upgrade to an HDTV. I can't get streaming of trailers or most .mp4 vids to work while in 1080i but it does work in ntsc 16x9 mode. Reviewing my logs show that memory errors pop when trying to stream trailers or watch .mp4 videos over my LAN. Hence the newfound desire to add more memory.
