MediaPortal Forum - View Single Post - HTPC Build for the old folks (And spending almost no money on it!)

In my bedroom I have my old PC standing with MP installed, WinXP SP2.
It has an AMD Duron 800 MHz, 512 MB RAM and NVidia GeForce2Pro, think it has 64 Mb.

It actually works with normal movies, avi, divx, xvid, dvd(only with FFDshow,. else it stutters). Of cource, no HD is possible...

Every low performance skins works nice, like Indigo, Monochrome, Blue Two and even Xface(OK, it is a bit slow sometimes).

This is very "on the edge" of not working but at least on the right side, so for a bedroom HTPC it'll do for now.
