Hi all,
I have an old ofice PC (HP dc7800) with a core 2 duo@3GHz and an 82q35 graphics chip in the northbridge. I don't think it has dedicated video memory so that is ontop of that. I added to the dc 7800 a "PCI-E x16 DVI Video Card Silicon orion" which is just a tmds encoder chip and DVI port.
Anyhow, performance is pretty bad with the limited tests I ran. I started with gnome-ubuntu (gnome-shell) and that was horrible slugish. The goal was to have a dedicated xbmc htpc. But xbmc ran at a framerate of 5-10 fps.
Trying xbmcuntu, which has no signs of compositing, it ran at 10-15 fps, but not stable, it would drop to 3-5 during heavy movement of the menu.
Anyway besdies adding a different videocard to improve performance?
