SFF HTPC + IR Remote

Thoughts on my Small Form Factor HTPC with infrared remote control receiver.

Should be able to:
- Play video up to x264 1080p content
- Uitzending gemist
- UltraStar Deluxe
- StepMania
- Windows games (kids)
- Project64
- PS1/PSX Emu

Especially UltraStar might pose a problem for an Atom 330 ION based system. Seems the design of the atom, possibly lacking OOE.

Foxconn NetBox-n T330i of als Joy-it Barebone Netbox NT330I bij Conrad.
1 x SODIMM DDR2 2GB (DDR2 667/800MHz, Max capacity 4GB) 2GB is more than enough for W7 + MCE/XMBC/MediaPortal (1GB required)
SATA 2.5" (notebook)
SATA 2.5"

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (UK)

When I look at the PassMark CPU score chart it seems a simple Atom 330 (631) will outperform my current XP 3000+ (451) at ease. The AMD Athlon 64 LE-1640 (701) in my server is only a little faster then a Atom 330. Of course my server is way cheaper then any of them. At 150,00 euro including mainboard, casing, cpu and memory.
