I am selling my MII12000 because it just is not powerful enough!
Am I the only one haveing problems with lame CPU?
Or am I trying to run to much on the same time? If not I am surpriced that this is regarded "the carpc" pc, and sold shamelessly by mp3car and cartft and others.
I am buying a Commell LV-679D with 1GB RAM and an INTEL Core2Duo T7100 800FSB 1.8Ghz. I hope this will sort me out.
I've made a simple benchmark my MII12000
It will be really interesting to get the corresponding numbers for the new PC.
Playback of 256kbit encoded song in mediaplayer
To the left part without VNC running and to the right with. The Mediaplayer process is only 10-22%. (on my desktop pc same number is 0-1%)
Rip of entire CD
USB DVD and IDE HDD. 256kbit mp3, coded by mediaplayer. VNC not running.
224MB memory, 100% CPU, done in
19 minutes. Much _much_ longer if music is played at the same time.
PowerDVD
Runs but taskmanager does not give any numbers and it is a bit unsteady. Will hang if you for instance pause. It is a don't touch application.
WinTV
Simply does not work. You might get a first screen shoot, but no sound.
