I bought this box to use as a client for my media server. It is a relatively low spec machine (AMD Athlon II Neo K325 dual core CPU, 2GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 9200), but has been reported to manage it.
After installing x11/xorg, x11-wm/dwm, x11/nvidia-driver, multimedia/vlc (all packages apart from the driver), I found that it couldn't even play 720p without a lot of seaming and judders. This isn't streaming from the network yet, reading from the hard drive.
I tried the man pages, but sysctl(8), sysctl.conf(5) and tuning(7) didn't help me at all. Are there any tips/options that can increase performance to match my needs?
