==Performance tips==
To get the most out of XBMC on the Pivos XIOS, you'll want to do the following:
* Run the linux Firmware (see [[#Installing XBMC]] for links).
* Format a fast micro SD card with a folder on it that says "xbmc-data", so that your [[userdata]] is stored there. Not only will this give you more space, but even SD cards are faster than the internal memory chip in the Pivos
* other stuff to be listed soon
