Hey,
I'm building an htpc, planning to use
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz FSB 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
I'm going to use this for games, multimedia, and a heck of alot of encoding.
I won't be overclocking. I'm going to try to use Raid0 for my OS, and another big drive for media storage.
Which OS would you chose? What OS issues are there for the dual core processors and/or the 64bit processors?
My current choices are:
$116 Windows MCE
$143 Microsoft Windows XP Professional X64 Edition 1
$135 Windows XP Pro (free, since I already have a spare copy)
