Any Computer Hardware Specialists
 

Is anyone a Computer hardware Specialist?
I am building another HTPC and would like to get some advice.
Thanks, harold

Whats the question?

Htpc
 

My system is now 2.5 years old.
I use Windows media center, Windows 7, HDMI output to BenQ Projector,
Blu Ray writer, 2 1 Tb fast drives, all in Micro ATX and HTPC case.
2 HD TV tuners meaning I can record 2 programs and watch one recording at the same time, and in between go to the Internet etc.
What Motherboard should I buy?
What CPU
What Memory

Thanks, harold

Whats wrong wtih your current system?

That said, I'd start by looking to see what your current system can do as far as fixing & upgrading. You'd be supprised at how much faster it will seem on the exact same hw after a good wipe and reinstall - windows gets incredibly crufty after a while. Then maybe look at maxing the RAM in the current system.

If you still want to buy new, decide on intel vs amd, get as many cores as you can afford in a slower cpu and max the ram out.
