I've tried several builds/skins and some seem to work better than others due to the limited memory on the XBox. I was wondering which ones everyone uses, specifically which skins work well for displaying/viewing the media library. The larger your library the more memory it will use I'm sure. So what works best? Extra points if you add a link to the skin/build you are using!!

XTV in 1080i mode. Some skins like Xperience doesn't display properly, probably because of the limited 64MB ram. I do have a debug kit i could pick som RAM chips from but i don't feel like upgrading my modchipped xbox. It's good as it is.

Do you have a link to a good copy of that skin? Or could you upload a copy?

I just got done trying out that skin and honestly I like the Rapier skin better. It looks a little nicer and is easier to configure. I could have spent a little more time with xTV and figured it out but for now I will stick with Rapier; even though it probably uses more memory. Do you have have the problem where some of the text in the menus doesn't show up? Specifically I notice it in the section where you set the autoplay options for different media. I noticed it on the xTV skin and the skin I use. You can highlight the different options and enable or disable them but you cannot see what they are. It's been that way for a while and I don't know why.

Anyone got any other recommendations for a good skin that displays game previews?

Vision2 is one sleek-looking skin. I mostly use xTV, but recently I've grown strong into Vision2.
