Hi guys,
my setup looks like this: I got black macbook, and 19" monitor and flat LCD TV. Problem is, when I want look movie, I have to swap cables, which is not comfortable at all, and it is also bad for connectors. I want to ask you, it is possible to connect USB GFX card, so I can connect two monitors, so I dont have to play with cables ? If yes, please suggest me one, which I should buy.
Also I have remote control, so basically, when I am in living room, I just want grab it, and launch boxee. Here comes another problem - when I got firefox opened, and also other applications, it is possible, when I launch boxee, it will limit other applications running to minimum CPU usage, so when I am playing HD content everything will be smooth? Or I have to manually quite all applications and then running boxee? I know, to make this possible, boxee needs some root privileges, but, everything is possible, right ? :)
thanks for help
