which is your prefered cpu?

mine is intel. no real reason why i have just always used it

The simple fact is that bang for buck, AMD had Intel by the gonads. I lived AMD (I have 3 computers with XP cpu's) and they were cheaper and almost as fast as Intel.

That was until Core Duo, now I am and Intel fan. AMD do not come close to it.

Offers a better feature set, very similar interface, and has much better support for a larger variety of codecs. Plus its free.

As for my HTPC, well I just have a hacked xbox running Xbox Media Center, connected to my network which hosts a D-Link DNS-323 network attached storage (1.5tb). Only disadvantage to that setup is that it isn't good for High Def movies, and obviously no blu-ray either. Might look at building a decent spec'd HTPC in the future, just the bootup times deter me.

Media Portal is what I am using. It is pretty good. I use it mainly for music and divx, I havn't got the tv part worked out yet.

Yeah i agree CoD4 is one of the best FPS ive ever played, second to GoldenEye on the N64.

The single player storymode is quite short if you play it on anything but Veteran, however online multiplayer is where the fun begins. Ive got it on my 360 and it rarely leaves it for another game.

Im hanging out for Age of Conan to come to xbox late this year early next year i believe, you can get it on PC, but id rather play it on my XBOX so i dont have to pay extra fees.

Shouldn't Lan have a capital "L"? It looks a bit weird with it being lower case.
