Question Media Centre Slooow on RC1...any ideas?

I have been running Vista RC1 for a while now, first with a GeForce 4 MX graphics card, and now with an ATI Radeon 9550. Now, with the new graphics card that supports Aero, Media Centre is slow and unresponsive, to the point were it's just unusable. It wasn't this bad with the GeForce4, I could still use it even though it was still jumpy.

Has anyone got any idea on how to fix this? I've tried ATI's drivers as well as those from Vista, and nothing will fix it.

Re: Media Centre Slooow on RC1...any ideas?

The 9550 should not be a problem as I've trialled one with Vista RC1 and it worked no problems. It was with a clean install so perhaps you need to get rid of any traces of the Nvidia driver (or do a clean install ). More memory is always good for Vista but if it worked with the GF4 then that should not be a problem.

Re: Media Centre Slooow on RC1...any ideas?

I have a ati x1300 and i must say the VMC is sooo much smoother then the XPMC but I have 1.5gigs of ram which may help the situation

I have played tv in MCE2005 and showed some people without them knowing what os
reboot into Vista and show them tv and 5/5 people agreed that the vista tv looked better (using purevideo for both versions)
