HOW TO: improve the performance of Vista Media Center
Saturday, October 13th, 2007
I’ve been running Vista Media Center (VMC) on two machines for a while now, and so far I have to say that the experience has been pretty good, but not all smooth sailing. Just like XP MCE 2005, VMC is very dependent on the capabilities of the hardware platform, the setup of the operating system and any third-party software which has been installed.
So, I decided to put together a piece detailing the problems I encountered and how I got around them – what worked and what didn’t. System Hardware. Intel is positioning its Viiv technology (both hardware and software) to be the platform of choice for HTPCs. One of the machines I use, an Optima Viiv Media Center, is one such device. My experience so far is that it doesn’t make a lick of difference whether your HTPC is Viiv or not. My second machine is an Asus P5N32-SLI-Deluxe-based system, without a whiff of Viiv in the air, and it performs just as well. HOW TO: improve the performance of Vista Media Center | APC Magazine
