Would you recommend this for use with a Ceton InfiniTV 6 PCIe for speed or is it overkill? I'd be streaming 6 HD TVs from this HTPC...

I'd recommend anyone that could afford this CPU to get it. The only con with this CPU would be if you pay the price and you don't use the extra computing power. But you won't be disappointed in any task you ask it to do.

I'd recommend it at least. Or, I'd go faster if you can. I'm finding that sometimes with Photoshop there's some speed issues for me, or maybe I'm just picky.

I would absolutely recommend! This CPU's 6 cores is more than capable of handling the task. Its not overkill at all. However, there is more than just the CPU in question. What Motherboard do you have? I'd recommend this CPU for your purpose if your motherboard & cpu cooler would allow for some overclocking at least. I have this CPU at 4.7GHz, thats not necessary for your task, but just to give an idea. Also to further your cause I would also recommend no less than 16GB of RAM clocked at least at 1600Mhz, but 2133MHz RAM speed would hit a home run with this CPU.

It is just a switch. If you know how to connect your devices with an ethernet switch, it is theoretically fast enough for HD streaming. But I did not use it for that purpose before.

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

I am using this CPU with a XFX 1 gig DDR3 Radeon HD 6770 graphics card w/800 streaming processors along with a CoolMax ZX-500 power supply, 4 gigs of Crucial DDR3 1333 Mhz RAM connected via HDMI cable to 42 LED tv and there are no issues streaming in HD 1080p whatsoever. Make sure your Internet speed runs at least 3.5 Mbps or you will experience "buffering."

I have the UN50HU6950 and Plex is an available download. I have not used it yet, so I cannot comment on performance.

Well I am using it with xbmc and I can play bluray movies no problem. You could get nvidia video card or this celeron cpu/ motherboard.

Even you install it is a x 16 slot, it only use up 1 Lan ( 1 x ), so maximum speed is stil PCIe Ver 2.0 1 X ( 5Gbps, about 4XX MB/s )

I have an NVidia Shield handheld with the lesser models of this product (an R6300 router and an EX1200 extender). Both support streaming very well, so this much faster model is certain to work.

I would trust that the highly skilled & inventive engineers at Ceton really know their product well. If you install their tuner card in a slower machine than their minimum specs you may be disappointed. Recording up to six HD channels simultaneously could result in less than the great results a faster CPU provides.

I do not know. I have not tried it. On the surface, it seems like an Ideal choice. Pleas read the response from a reviewer and check with the Mobo Manufacturer. Awsome board for a HTPC By N. R. on June 7, 2013 Verified Purchase This board is special, which is quite small, faster than an Atom board, have lower power usage than regular board + CPU, quiet even with the cpu fan, fits into 1u case with ease. If you find a good brand solid wattage above 120 watt small size. I have a slim size case with 140Watt and that did work fine. For a dual core, dual channel memory, cheap price I cannot complain. Pay attention some have issues with lesser wattage or not accurate PSU wattage given. The negative part is for errors on Linux installation. I want to use it for video, audio and Electronics books storage library mainly for low power consumption which is between 20-25 watt constant, but didn't expect I will have issue with Linux ACPI drivers which this one does. I switched to windows home server which works but did prefer the Linux as for it's great scalability. Hopefully you will have better luck than me.

It says that it takes up to Power Consumption up to 75W no additional PCIe power required. And from what I read in PC Mag your PC consumes about 70 Watts under Load so if you don't have multiple Hard drives or Using alot of USB devices you should be good with this card with your power supply. Here is the article I found in PC Mag. From what I read I would say yes it would work fine. But the PC is getting a little outdated to so I don't know how much performance you would see from this card. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2255115,00.asp

It has a PCI-E 16x slot. I think it's like revision 1.0 so it won't run very fast, but it should work. It has 4 RAM slots? I don't know about channels on this board, but I think i got it to run with two unmatched pairs of 2GB RAM, totaling 8GB. Here is the manual:https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share?s=nwl9NMVLTEMu3Daqdv5mEI

I currently have 4 Samsung U28d590 4k monitors run in UHD through this card. When I ran a single monitor on a GeForce GTX650Ti, I never had a hard time playing HD video. Now that I switched my card and added these monitors, I sometimes have a problem playing the same videos. Definitely can't play any games more demanding than minecraft. Can it drive all four? Yes, but not in the passing lane. I'm a programmer, so I enjoy all the space to run my development tools. If you are a video connoisseur or gamer, this is not the right card for you.

I use the m350, have had it since December with the A-U board and I love it, absolutely no problems running XBMC decoding 1080p video. Here is my complete build:Zotac A U2x2gb Corsair XMS 2320gb caviar blue HDDRosewill Media Center Remotem350 enclosureXBMC Live

considering the pci 3.0 is backward compatible with the 2.0 specification there should be no problem, however, I have not tried this so it is a theoretical answer. I assume you have two 16 slots and the first is populated with another card. Also as mentioned in order to provide the best throughput you will need 4 lanes. Most motherboards provide 8 for the second 16 slot put it is worth a double check before you invest in the card.

That depends on what you are using the computer for and your budget. I used this with AMD Radeon 6700 series graphics mainly for HD video playback and that worked without any issue. I also had a requirement that the graphics card is single slot, which means I would not be able to use any of the high-end units. But then, I saved some money.

I connected this card in my HTPC directly to my HDMI receiver for playing Netflix and some light gaming. This card sounds as good as it looks. Surround sound is good as well. make sure to install the new NVIDIA driver experience software to ensure the HD audio drivers load correctly. There are a lot of garbage cables out there so make sure you are using a cable that has HDMI 1.3, 1.4, or 1.4a with high speed ethernet markings on it to ensure the surround sound works correctly. Good luck
