Issue 1:

I have now ripped all of my legally owned DVD's (480) and Blu-Ray movies (1080p) to my server and enjoy watching them on my Boxee and main HTPC. My main HTPC has a 2400 chip and uses the onboard Intel video - everything runs smooth as glass. The problem is the 2nd HTPC (listed above) running stock cannot handle anything higher than 480i. Based on some tips, I haved OC'd the onboard Intel HD 2000 to 1300 and gave it some extra juice. Has been running fine now for the past 24 hours.
My question is this: Is the 2100t and Intel HD2000 not powerful enough to run 720p to 1080p video? My server has a 2100t chip and seems to be OK.

Issue 2:

To add to the fun, about every other day, when I turn on the 2nd HTPC, it can't located the SSD though it will show in the POST. I have to hit reset for it to start. It is set to ACHI, S.M.A.R.T and connected to the SATAII ports on the MOBO. Anyone have a good free SSD diagnostic?

Thanks,

Paul
