Upgrade from 250 to 256?

[grasshopper1979]

Hi.

Ive got a MAG 250 box that I bought from a friend a month or so ago.

It works fine but the menu system is very slow and its a bit hard work to navigate with the remote.

My question is, is there much difference in the 256? Is it more responsive moving through the menus etc...?

Thanks in advance

Have a look @ mag 322. As well as the 256..

Thanks.

Will it be noticeably better/any different?

MAG 256 Vs MAG 322 .

256 looks to have a faster processor on paper (1.5GHz and 3500 DMIPS Vs 750Mhz and 2500 DMIPS on 322), and more RAM (1GB Vs 512MB on 322).
The 322 is quick simple set up and with a decent provider imo. Is The better of the 2. I had lots of issues on 256. Noticeably switching off ?

Have a look around on TK lots of different opinions..

Thanks but will either be any smoother to use than the 250?

250 is the first gen mag box very slow now compared to the 322 and the 256,
