So for those interested the RemoteFX demonstrated will be AMD powered. The server will be an AMD G34 (Magny-Cours) with a corresponding ATI FirePro V7800. With SP1 RC the performance is incredible over RemoteFX.
I’ll keep adding to the forum thread with any new demonstrations that will be at #HoustonWinMeet but if there is anything you want to see or feel would be beneficial please let me know.
Are you running RTM? I’ll following up tonight. I’m currently disconnected from my home network. I’m part of the Comcast IPv6 beta and it hasn’t been going well the last few days.

You are not limited to VHD. Right now I only have two iSCSI targets, 1 is a RAID6 array for my media and the other is a dedicate WD Black as my data drive on my development system.
I’ve been wanting to evaluate iSCSI Remote Boot so I can remove all the hard drives out of my bedroom HTPCs but I don’t want to test it until I get a managed switch and I can’t afford that right now.
In terms of VHD usage for recording….I did do that for a while and had no performance issues. I would only recommend it if with fixed VHDs and if your hardware supports VT-d (Intel) or AMD-Vi (AMD).

I’ve been using it for a while now and honestly I really like it for home use. Having a relatively cheap SAN via iSCSI solution is nice.

Damn you all. Just added The Walking Dead to my Recorded TV series list. I’m already watching too much TV as is….

I’ve had the Harmony One since day 1 of its release and my family has always hated the Harmony One. It took them less than a day to use and enjoy the Amulet Remote.
The Harmony One is a great universal remote but it still has so many shortcomings as a remote in my opinion.

It helps for network playback performance, especially against WHS v1.

November 9, 2010 at 2:24 pm in reply to: Re: Are there tweaks or hardware considerations to make when bui #2297I agree with RehabMan, the two biggest culprits here are 1- the network performance; 2- drive extender. A combination of the two is the reason I never used WHS for more than backups.
For the network performance there are quite a few tweaks you can do but WHS is still limited to SMBv1 so file share performance will always be mediocre.
When you do get around to looking at new hardware. I can highly recommend the [url=http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/atom.cfm#MB]Supermicro Atom motherboards[/url]. They all have dual Intel NICs, IPMI 2.0 and typically at least 6 SATA ports. I have three of them running at home.
The Intel Atom D510, Intel Atom D525 and AMD Zacate will be your goto Vail processors.
