Trinity CPUs are excellent for HTPCs.

To get the best performance out of them it helps to have high speed RAM 2000MHz +.

Thanks, will they overclock the Ram ok? i have 8Gb of Samsung Green to spare, cheers

Last Q. is it worth getting the A8/10 over the A6 just for HTPC use? Thanks

The motherboard will take up to 1866MHz RAM, and I know that Samsung stuff OCs really well.

Cheers, think i will go with this board now, just to save space and a little bit more future proof on cases.. also looks like it will take faster memory
