thats something i should be asking you john!

 

Nice man...when i get my own place I wanna integrate all my media and everything cause I hate having so many things to connect. I always wanted an HTPC....maybe for xmas

 

aites!

i've had a long day..i'm out of here!

you guys have a great night!

 

I'm going to be running Windows 7, I hate the Media Center thing so I'm just doing plain ole WMP12 since it renders video files pretty nicely compared to all the other stuff I tired (winamp, VLC, etc). I'm not going to install any other software except for the necessary codecs and drivers. I still need to buy a remote or a wireless multimedia keyboard.

 

isnt it up to 10?...idk i heard that somewhere but it also might be a random guess

 

G'nite

 

 

I hate media center too it does not run as smoothly as wmp imo...i didnt know there was a wmp12 lol...I just use itunes for music and dont really have much more media on my computer.

 

John read my post again...that was in response to your question about the wireless...not the windows media player version

 

OH! Oops, I'm not sure, we currently have 3 wireless/ 2 Cat6 connected to one, and 4 wireless / 1 Cat6 connected to another. I'm using IPV6 protocol on my computer, two modems FTW.

 

your a nerd!....man when I get my own place your setting up my place with the HTPC and network

 

so what other components are you using for that new pc...hope your getting a 15,000rpm hard drive so it can be nice and fast

 

It's mainly for movie/music/TV purposes so I'm thinking of getting at least 1TB, I don't need anything fancy for this. I wish I had the money for a couple of SSD's for my main computer, that would be l33t. Actually, dozer have two 15k RPM HDD that he has sitting around, shoot him an offer and he might sell it.

I needed a processor that would be powerful enough to play 1080p video files without lagging, I've had this happen on my old P4 which was 3.6ghz with plenty of RAM and a nice Vid Card, so I opted for the E8400 Core2duo with 4gb of 800mhz DDR2, it should be more than sufficient for smooth playback, and like I said before, it's for a HTPC so I went with an el-cheapo video card, an 8600GS, rofl.

 

Oh, BTW, I got Atilla hooked on Aion.

 

my professor says he has a buddy who works with companies managing large servers and the SSD tend to degrade in speed over time when constantly processing lots of data...says he had to replace thousands of Solid state drives in a server only after 2 months cause they were slowing down too much

 

No way did you really...haha now he is never gonna leave his room he has forza and aion and tekken.

 

O rly? Hmmmm, I need to research that more but then again, it's not like I'll be able to afford one anytime soon.

 

You should see the text messages we exchange about Aion, rofl. Not to mention the phone calls about Aion randomness.

 

haha man I am glad i got outta the mmo gaming...it was getting costly and effecting the relationship

 

alright im out for the night...later

 

G'nite Roger.
