Hello all,
OK, just built a new box with these specifications:
ATi RADEON HD 3450 PCI-E
Intel Dual Core E5200 (2.5GHz)
Intel DG45ID MoBo
2GB 800 DDR2
400W PSU
As you can see, I was on a tight budget, buy hey, it is FAR betten that the old POS that I had!
OK, Questions for you:
I am going to use this system STRICKLY for home-theater purpose (no gaming, or Encoding), just watching DVD, BluRay and HD-DVD rips (.MKV, etc.), as a result I need to know:
1) What OS to choose? Vista32 or Vista64 or XP Pro?
2) Under what OS, decoding and watching H. 264 files faster less choppier?
3) I have purchased and downloaded the latest version of CoreAVC (Professional Edition v1.8.5.0) - Do I just need to install this one?
4) What about CCCP packs?
5) What Player do you recommend? (Zoom, WMP Classic, etc.)
6) With my new RADEO HD 3450, would it just decode these HD streams out of the box, or do I need to tweak some settings in the codecs (CoreAVC?) or ATi drivers?
I really appreciate your help!
