    I am just after upgrading my HTPC To a 3ghz core2duo, 9800GT, and OCZ 6400 Ram, hooked up to z-5500 etc, the htpc is going to be mainly used to x264 and wil be using coreavc.I would like people views on which Vista they reckon is better XP MCE(which i have been using) or should i go for Vista MCE? Any thought, i no its depends on each perfect but would like to hear pros and cons.

    Dan

    vista mce, mce2005 looks way too old at this stagee and to me anyways, eye candy is a part of a media centre, and mce2005 doesnt have that. There is plenty of great plugins now for vista mce such as mytv and openmedialibrary for movies, check thegreenbutton forums for more info.

    I switched from XP MCE 2005 a long time ago , Vista MCE ( only comes with home premium and ultimate) makes much better use of the screen real estate and just looks better , and as Kaisersoze77 says , the plugins are brilliant.
