  2. MSI Media Live Diva (aka MSI 7411, aka AMD Maui platform)

    Hello All, Not to overstep my bounds here, but I am sharing what I think is one of the best boards on the market for the HTPC space. I am one of the architects behind this platform so I know my opinion may be skewed. As such, I thought I would share some comments from others that have either...

  4. SPDIF out from MB header to optical?

    Can you use Gigabyte Audio Combo Kit for 8 Channel Sound with SPDIF (12CR1-1SPAUD-21) with a Foxconn G45M motherboard to gain an optical out port from the on board Sound's SPDIF header? Any clues whether the wiring would be different? The G45M's SPDIF connector looks like a 4 pin socket.

  8. Intel + onboard Nvidia choices?

    Hey guys, I currently have a HTPC based around the DFI Lanparty JR GF9400-T2RS. The brother-in-law wants me to build him a new HTPC and it looks like the GF9400 is getting hard to get a hold of / obsolete. What are recommendations nowadays as a suitable replacement board - sticking with the...

  10. G45 mATX boards for HTPC build

    I know it's early days but are any of you looking at these for an upcoming build? I'm thinking about the Intel DG45ID or the Asus P5Q-EM specifically. Now that the G45 boards are coming out, I can finally look seriously at my build and the mATX form factor is most likely the way I'll go. What...

    My HTPC started crashing last sunday which was a very hot day. Now it won't boot. It won't even post for that matter. The case fans start and so does the CPU fan albeit slowly at first then only intermittently. The motherboard speaker doesn't beep at all. I have tried all the usual things like...

  17. Talking PCI Slot double Adaptor

    Hi, As the title suggests I have a lack of PCI slots issue. I am using the LanParty DFI9400 Board. It only has one PCI slot which I thought would be fine. I use this slot for my Audigy 2 sound card (It outputs both Digital and analogue at the same time!). I just recently bought a Philips...

  19. New Motherboard and CPU?

    I'm considering getting an Asus M4A78 AM2+ 770 HT5200 and an AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 to upgrade my MCE. What do you think, a good combination or could I do better for a similar outlay? I need a board with 3 pci slots for my tuners so this limits me somewhat. I'm also considering getting 4Gb...
