It's good but for gaming it's starting to get on a little bit. It will live on as a HTPC or a home server though and it's plenty good for that :)
One thing, you say your PC is 5 years old yet has DDR3, I doubt it tbh. At that age it would be ddr2.
I abandoned my mediacenter project long time ago as I'm not much into TV/Movies/Games.
So, it will be interesting to find out how you use them.
Maybe there are benefits I was unable to identity...
Update:
I enabled the media extender and file sharing between my XBox and PC, via my home wi-fi. Although it was simple to set up, the idea of streaming content from the PC was quickly abandoned because it's slow as molasses.
I think I'll try Ody's suggestion :D
There's your problem :) Well at least one of them, wi-fi is simply not reliable enough for streaming.Quote:

The problem with wireless is not necessarily bandwidth but it's the fact that it's not always consistent. At work we support a lot of homeworkers working through a Citrix Access Gateway which needs a constant (and I mean constant!!!!!!) connection and as soon as the connection even drops just a teensy weensy bit their Citrix connection goes and they're calling us up complaining that it's dropped. Whilst wireless can and does work for a lot of people it's always best if possible to CAT6 it or if you're not going to be sharing banddwidth between different devices then powerline networking works well.Quote:
