I have a virgin PC with 780G mobo and X5600 CPU, to use for GBPVR.
All I have installed on it is three OS's in a tri-boot:
XP SP3, XP 64 SP2, Vista Ultimate 32-bit. I was going to make it quad-boot with Vista 64-bit, but decided that was OTT!
I would like input form anyone who has built a 780G HTPC. I cannot even decide which OS to use! Hence the multiple boot options. I have read the posts about trouble getting hardware acceleration working with H264 videos, and I really don't know where to start.
I have not installed an OS from scratch for a decade. I upgraded Win98 to ME, then upgraded ME to XP I have changed mobo and CPU many times, and always done a repair install of 98/ME/XP to get them working with the new hardware. It seems so daunting to start with a clean slate. Now I have three clean slates! So if you have a 780g system working well with PVRX2, what are you using?
