Urgh...now I want to trade mine in!

Heh, at $35/each, I can afford to have a couple laying around.  These stream my normal DVDs great - zero problems.  This new one is interesting because of the debugger support.  I'm very interested in that!

This is the one that I purchased. Which one did you purchase TM? The one That I have already has all these features on the board.

You may have gotten the very first version of the Rev B.  I only have  one with 256Mb.  Are you sure you have the rev B?  I thought you've had yours for a weekish?

If you pull up XBMC, you can see how much free memory you have.  Mine is around 112MB

I have had mine like 2 weeks and yes mine is the revision B with just under 256 mb and purchased from newark but it was back ordered for a week or 2 so maybe mine was from the new product line??

[TrailMyx]

Well mine is pretty obvious because I don't have those new mounting holes.  Oh well, it's not gonna break the bank.

That's the beauty of this board! I can buy another one (though I wanted 2 to begin with so now I guess I'll end up with 3 total) and can probably squeeze it in without my wife complaining too much about my tech expenditures

TM, definitely keep us updated on the new board. I'm following this thread with great interest! I would MUCH rather sink my $$ into LAN storage instead of yet another PC for the Home Entertainment System.

One thing I'd be especially curious about is emulator support. My intention was to shift all my emulation over to the HES.

there's a bunch of threads regarding emulation.  What platforms are you interested in?

Oh, I just started playing around with the Linux distro (Raspian).  This thing is just too darn cool.  I remember back to my Sinclair ZX-81 and can only be amazed at the progress we've achieved.  Blessed art thou Broadcom!

I spent my lunch today surfing the web using the RPi and Raspian Debian Linux.  Was very usable; quite amazing actually.

Hey, I graduated to my Timex Sinclair 2068.  I had a friend loan me his VIC-20 also.  That was fun; loved the graphics capabilities.  Man, I've been a nerd for a long time.

I suppose I need to stop being lazy and head over to their forums and start reading...

Along with MAME, I've collected all the console and legacy system ROM's that I could including C64, Amiga, all Atari, Colecovision, Nintendo, Sega, etc, etc. Pretty fun to go back and play Miner 2049'r on Colecovision or throw in a virtual quarter and play a couple rounds of DigDug just like I was at the Dream Machine arcade.

I was a C64 kid rather than a VIC20; same toybox but only slightly different toys.

@Freddy - you wish you weren't a nerd! I hate to break it to you but in 20 years you're going to be hanging out on some video game forum,  maybe even UO-related, and talking about the "good ol' days" when we all had tower PC's that took up entire corners of dedicated, specialty furniture called "desks" and some 20-year old is going to call you a nerd. Then you'll remember the fateful words of 12xWiser and toast my memory

I was doing a little storage cleanup and opened one of my large wooden crates and there looking up at me was a dusty Vic-20 screaming at me power me up and show my functionality to your children and I almost dug it out and powered it up and then the wife called and had me on a new path.

Lol, these days that would be a futile effort since what may have been so impressive back in the day is certainly outperformed by the average modern coffee pot.
