I am building a new HTPC which will be used for watching TV, storing movie/music files and playing music and video files. I need some suggestions on which AMD CPU would be best for my needs. I will not be using this HTPC to play any 3D intensive games, therefore I don't know if I will need a dual core CPU or if the single core AMD Athlon would serve my video and music requirement well.

Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
