IVIYTH0S Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 The onboard on the 350 is more than enough for anything but gaming. Isn't it? Oh yeah, it's a beast. I was just saying, the atom platform doesn't have any place anywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 The onboard on the 350 is more than enough for anything but gaming. Isn't it? it is as long as you're not streaming High Definition content from the like of Netflix.... they use Silverlight and for some reason it doesnt work well on the E-350s... its laggy and choppy. but as long as you dont use Silverlight it pretty much handles anything. @ IVIYTH.... yes this is true...on the TVs I have that use HDMI the onboard is more than fine... on my old RPTV I needed a card just for S-Video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Netflix almost bogs down on a decent X3 720, so I can imagine slower chips would really cause issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuJuMaN89 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 ok so that mobo/cpu should be able to handle 3d blurays and also rip/burn blurays too rite? also i was just thinking, i already have a samsung smart tv and the only reason i was getting this HTPC was to rip blurays to it so i dont have to keep loading bluray movies each time i want to watch them and also burn some home vids and crap to blurays, so would i just be better off getting a NAS to store all my movies on and use my samsung smart TV to access that NAS, and just buy an external bluray burner for my laptop to rip/burn them?

I'm 99% sure I've used it for NF streaming before and didn't have any issues. Nothing special with mine, just 4GB SoDIMM and a 64GB SSD.

Waco Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I'd just rip the movies on your laptop. A low power HTPC won't encode video very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuJuMaN89 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 ok i am probably going to get the Western Digital My Book Live http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136745&Tpk=WDBACG0010HCH-NESN and rip everything to there...plug that in to my router and hopefully i can stream it to my samsung tv!

Waco Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 That should work as long as your TV can stream HD properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 There's nothing wrong with ASRock boards. I didn't like mine when I had BD, but it was due mostly to an immature BIOS. I still have it around as a backup or for if I decide to go back to AMD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 AsRock's are great, I used one for a friend's computer build and it blew me away the quality and features it had for what we bought it for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
