Says who??

I'm running a PNY 630i/7150 Motherboard with an Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz and Stark runs perfect on it. You don't even need a separate sound or video card for it because the motherboard handles it all. You can get the MB and Processor bundle at tigerdirect for $134 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4472396&csid=_22

what output do you use? 1080/720?

since my proc is just a little bit slower then yours, but my graphics is much better, and I experience stuttering when changing fanart/background simultaneous as scrolling through the showcase scroller.

[NineT9mustang]

pretty sure he was just trying to advertise Aeon Stark :P

Especially by creathing the thread here, and not in Aeon's forums

Or it's an April Fools joke.

Helped to solve the issues in my case, should help you as well.

Do you think this cpu / mobo combo will upscale my sd movies using "high quality upscaling" setting with no prpblems.. Im currently using Pentium 4 3.0 ghz and ati 2400 and experience jitter and sound delay when upscaling. I also get fanart delay scrolling on Aeon Stark as well.

[smcnally75]

I haven't had any issues with playing 1080p content with it yet.

[Schroeder]

Stark at 720p with i950 graphics and Intel dual-core 1.66 ... no issues...
