I have my blu ray collection backed up on my media server in isos, for my htpc / streaming I've been using a dk77kb mb + i3-3220 running openELEC. For the most part I love this setup, but tonight while watching Inception there were a few parts where it choked up. The video stopped for a split second then jumped to the right scene. Got me wondering is my cpu / graphics underpowered? If so is there a cheaper route than replacing the CPU? I could use my htpc for everything but blu-rays, and if there is a cheaper component than a new cpu, us the new piece of hardware just for blu rays?
Thanks for any suggestions.
edit:
started looking in my area for western digital live, there are a few less than $50. Do these do dts-hd and true-hd passthrough? Would it be worth buying on and using it for bluray instead of my htpc? Just something that crossed my mind.
