Netflix and Rowpro

Post by Bokaj » April 19th, 2011, 4:34 pm

I'm planning on getting rowpro in the near future and was wondering if anyone has tried running rowpro and netflix on the same computer?

i would def. use netflix on your tv -- get a $90 roku at roku.com, and use the rowpro separately on your pc, if you wish!

I have Acer Aspire connected to flat panel TV via HDMI and it runs RowPro and Netflix with no problem at the same time.

Cheers,

Simon

I do both all the time. Alienware M14x desktop. Just make sure you get the recommended video chip that Rowpro suggests. Mine has both the intel and the nvidia chips. Dell has a new notebook with both that will do well for far less than the Alienware. I have had problems when the video memory is shared with main memory using Rowpro on other notebook computers.
