I've downloaded the AEON trial and im running it on my HTPC, the visuals seem to be slow, when I run it on my PC it runs faster and smoother. Any ideas people.. Thanks in advance..

I am noticing a little slow down on some of the more intense visuals. I'll pass this on. For now, you can avoid it, by finding the visuals that run slowly and removing them from your active categories. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Hello rorywilcox

I will not make any recommendations, however in my opinion you do need to up your specs. There are some on the forum who could advise you much better than I can.

I'm looking at new CPU. AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz. would I need any new RAM. the GPU is a HDMI on board system. hopefully I wont need a new graphics card aswell..

That processor is OK, but you would be wise to have 4Gb of memory, and to get the best out of Aeon I would get yourself a new graphics card with 1MB of memory. That would be close to my specs, and Aeon runs sweet as a nut.

Got a question, do graphics cards with HDMI support audio??

what Card have you got, I need the HDMI on my motherboard as I need sound on HDMI to my TV

Hello rorywilcox

The graphics card I am using is NVIDEA GeForce 9800GT with 1GB Memory. Don't know about the audio, mine is Realtek High Definition which comes with the motherboard, maybe you will need a decent sound card as well. I am getting really good at spending your money.

My motherboard is high def audio as well. if I use a separate GPU it would have to be either VGA or DVI to VGA but then I would loose the HI-DEF picture output

It seems a lot of effort just to get Aeon working

Hello rorywilcox

I am not a techie sort of person, I have a guy who custom builds my computers. I tell him what I want he builds it. There are forum members who can give you the help you want, but I think I have gone as far as I can.
