Ok,
I currently have a Lenovo IdeaCenter Q190 taking care of my HTPC duties. It is a decent enough streaming box, but I'm finding that it can't quite handle the live TV duties that I'm throwing at it. I have 2 x HDHomerun tuners on my network. Live TV is fine most of the time, but if there are a couple of recordings going on, it will start to stutter pretty regularly.
I'm thinking about replacing it with a Kabini Athlon 5150 or 5350. I've upgraded the drive in the Q190 to a SSD, so I already have that.
I figure I can put together a whole system for around $150-$170.
Will I see any significant improvement?
The price definitely seems right...
