New Member wanting to buy but needs some info..

Hello all, I am new to this forum.
I have found this forum in the search of information regarding these Wind Top pc's.
Information is fairly thin on the net so I thought it best to join this forum and ask my questions here where I am sure I will get acurate answers.
I have searched the threads here in but still need some clarification.
My scenario is as follows:
I want to use one of these AIO's mainly as a music and music video jukebox.
Tv tuner, either built in or usb external would be good also.
Sound output is to a set of active Audioengine A5 2.0 speakers.
Ive been checking out a few other  brands like:
Asus, Shuttle, HP, Lenovo and Gateway, though I like the look of the MSI ones the best.
16 inch is realistically too small, 20 inch is just about right and 22 inch upwards may be a little big and probably a little to much like a fully fledged pc, which may be a little much for what I need?
It will be placed in my Kitchen/Dining/Sitting room. Size is 8m x 6m.
I dont really want to spend a fortune, maybe below a $1000 if possibe but definately not to much above $1000. I am in Australia, Tasmania actually and viewing/demoing is fairly non existant.
The MSI 2020 or 2220 etc is probably at the top of my list.
It looks similar to a large picture/photo frame as apposed to a fully fledged computer.
I have attached my Audioengine A5's to my dell 15" laptop, T6400 or 2.0 gig core 2 cpu, 3 gig ram and Radeon HD4570 gfx.
Installed 80 gig of music and when starting/browsing windows media center for music, it does OK but I can see its not as quick as I would like it to be.
Therefore what worries me is trying to work out how one of these lower specked MSI wind top touchscreens will perform.
Can anyone please share their thoughts or experience especially regarding the browsing and playing of a music mp3 collection of reasonable size eg 80 gig etc.
Thanks in advance

It's probably a good idea to check out reviews as that will give a good idea of whether it meets your needs. I don't own a Wind Top so can't comment on what it's like to use.
MSI Wind Top AE2220 review: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/1594404/msi-wind-top-ae2220
You'll obviously want better performance than your laptop, which would rule out the Wind Top AE2020, since that has an Pentium T4500 Dual-Core processor, which is slower than the Core 2 Duo T6400. The Wind Top AE2220 would be the better choice of the two since it can come with the Core 2 Duo T6600 processor.

  • Already Posted but Need some info

    A select query was working well for the last 2 months but now hits 100% CPU.
    It retrieve from some of the tables where large number of inserts or update happens everyday.
    For time being it was ok but now started.I have requested for statspack report during the peak period.
    The DBA guy of the client said he increased the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and restarted the DB.Now seems to work fine.But i think its not going too fix.
    Is there any thing i can do with Table level statistics on those tables where large inserts happen.
    Any idea anybody can sugges?
    I have posted these things earlier but now i am getting into trouble.
    STATSPACK will come next week
    Eric Jaffar knows the earlier posts
    Excep Statspack what area can i ask him to look into.
    Move table,rebuld indexes.?IS it an wise option suggest
    Tablespace utilization are 70% LMT, Win2003 Oracle 9i
    But the select query is hitting 100% but worked fine earlier.
    Is there anything related to that because of large inserts into those tables?\
    Indexes occupies more amount of space that data?
    Cheers
    Happy Chinese New year to everyone

    The onlyInformation i had is the top 5 queries.Which i think are hitting 100%
    I checked with DBA on the cleint side he says it may be due to lesser shared pool size but one more things it happens during peak period when no of concurrent users connect
    What area a normal DBA should concentrate when a query seems to take lomng time which was running fine ang getting worse over the time and when data grows?
    I will post everything during next week .We are on holiday and for time being i am happy
    One more thing the Earlier DBA was sacked for not fixing this issue?
    I am not worrying about that what may be the reason?
    i hope i will fix with all of your support and with my desire

  • Hi i have pap2,i know to configure but need some info about the service providers in india

     plz help me in telling the service providers in india i used net4 phonewala before but want to use other service provider now..i have atleast 40 packs pap2 but dont know what to do with those...can i sell them ..plz help me

    netphonewala should unlock the units first. If the devices are locked or provisioned with them then you will not be able to use them with any other provider. The current ITSP where the devices are registered will be the ones to unlock the units.

  • I have project I want to run and need some information

    Hi
    I have project I want to run and need some information about technical, consultancy, architecture design
    and what I need for this project (hardware and software(
    I planning to stream live streaming 24 channels,
    The feed is analog from pal STB cable or satellite.
    I want to stream in 2 different resolution and bit rates
    1. full screen 750-850k
    2. 240x360    400-600k
    the format is flash h.264
    The channels are series, sport, news, and movie.
    What recommended card (i have osprey 450e)?
    What kind of requirement of computer I need (CPU, MHZ, CORE, RAM).
    can i use i7 cpu or xeon cpu?
    how many channels i can run in 1 computer?
    I need cheap solution for this project around 20-30k$ for hardware.
    thnaks

    I am working on a similar project.
    Actually, i can encode 2 streams in h.264 with a resolution around 640X480 on a Intel Xeon E3120 (2 core) 3.16 GHZ configuration.
    OS is a windows XP 32 bits. CPU usage is around 75%.
    (note: FMLE instances are run with FMLEcmd not GUI mode)
    Does someone know if i can gain performance with windows XP 64bits ?
    My goal is to encode 4 streams on a single machine, does someone know if a dual CPU, let's say 2 X (4 core) Xeon, is enough ?
    I don't know if FMLE support multiple processor with multiple core configuration.
    I am maybe wrong, but after reading this forum, it seems many people have problems using FMLE under windows vista. Do we gain performance on Vista vs XP ?

  • As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

    As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

    i put a new sim card and a new number on this phone but for some reason it is paired with a Lady who can read all my texts how do i fix this?

    You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage.  Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).  Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

    Has anyone got this error string?
    First RAID array I would very much appreciate any help given.

    Hi!
    Looking at some info on Google and Microsoft site, I cannot find the BC error code, only the error code ending with B. It indicates an error with the boot device. It can be caused by several things.
    Check that you are using the correct device drivers to install Windows
    Also, check the installation CD. It could be that the disk was damaged and that you are missing a crucial file because of that
    You can also try installing Windows again and choose to recover the previous installation.
    If this all does not help, try installing Windows on a single HDD (no raid) to see if that will work.

  • Need some info on BI CONT 7.x

    Hi,
    I need some clarification on BI Content ADD ON 7.x.
    Though new versions are getting released day by day with good new add on modules, but do we have BI Content which has complete DTP's and Transformations for Logistics and FI module.
    I hope it might be confusing, i will come some other way around.
    with bi content 3.5 whenever we activate a cube/ODS using business content in RSA1 by taking in dataflow before it will activate cube/ods, update rules/infosource etc.., in the same way if i activate LO or FI modules cubes or DSO using BI content 7.x can i get Transformation,DTP's get activated.
    for your information till now i have not used Bi content 7.x.
    I could gain some knowledge from your end.
    thanks
    Prashanth.

    The business content is still not in 7.0 dataflow. So you need to install the 3.x objects and migrate them to 7.0 And as far as the 7.x infosources, if you want u may install them and use for the transformations (while converting the transfer rules). Anyway the system wil prompt you to use a existing 7.0 infsource or conver the existing 3.x infosource. And infosource is not mandatory as of 7.0 dataflow.
    Thanks.

    Hi. Im very new to java and no naf all about it....
    As part of my course we are going to start programming in Java..
    But thats not what I need help on.
    As part of a project I'm setting up a Wireless Hotspot....
    Is there any way of using some part of Java to to make a secure connection from Server <-> Client.
    The reason I ask is that I've been told that java is almost impossable to hack.....
    Sorry for my Ignorance on Java....I'm playing chatch up...but will get there...

    excuse me a sec....
    AH HA HAHA HA HAH AHAH HA
    Start at the beginning my friend and let your path be a fruitful one. If you're new to java this the worst possiblt place to start.
    You can have secure connections quite easily in Java but learn some basic java before you even think about getting near this stuff. Just have a look at the posts on this site with poor noobs in i upto their neck cus they tried to run before they could walk.
