E2160@3.0GHz upgrade

Yes, the CPU is at 50% and I lose frames. Decoding is single threaded, again. Regarding what ShawnD1 is saying, I don't understand... are you implying that the E7400 or E8400 offer more overclockability potential? Meaning I'd be "surer" of reaching close to 4.0GHz? Also, does cache really...

E2160@3.0GHz upgrade

... I don't know if I'm explaining myself properly. The VC-1 decoding happens on a single thread, clock speed (with the same core architecture, obviously) is far more important than the number of core. The CPU usage on a quad core would be 25%, not more, and still lead to bad performance at 3.3 GHz.

E2160@3.0GHz upgrade

Well, it's not a problem for h.264 content, since h.264 decoding is multithreaded in FFMPEG (which is what XBMC's video player is based on). VC-1 content is still decoded in a single thread and there the CPU struggles. I read reports that with a Core 2 Duo E7200 8.5x412 ~3.5GHz the same...

E2160@3.0GHz upgrade

Hi! I currently use for my HTPC (XBMC based, under Windows, no GPU assisted decoding) an E2160 o/c at 3.0. Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. I wanted to know whether, not changing motherboard I could simply switch to an E5200 o/c it to 3.5 or something. Cooling solution is a XP120...
