</div>I have a E8500 C2D on that box ; so I don't know what slow UI means :)<br>
<br>
the 9400M has no problem playing any contents; can just do Temporal 2X<br>
on HD however, not advanced.<br>
<br>
If I was to do it again today...<br>
as a frontend, I would get a ION or ION2 if they exist...<br>
<br>
it's nicer, smaller, use less power, and sufficient for my needs.<br>
<br>
I can't say I've ever seen a 240GT fanless yet<br>
