Does this sounds like a good HTPC system?

[QUOTE="onkl, post: 39309, member: 11584"] Yes, in itself no problem. A directX 9 card contains hardware able to handle DX9 instructions. A DX8 card does not contain that hardware, but DirectX is just an instruction set, which every CPU can handle. So even a system with a non-directX card can -in theory-support DX9 apps. Point is, your CPU can handle the directX of this version of Mediaportal and Windows XP, but can it handle MP 0.3 or the mythical 1.0? And will it like MS Vista? Would I own the hardware you described, I'd keep it and be happy, since it is not outdated right now, but no, I wouldn't buy it, since it will be outdated pretty soon and upgrade options are minimal in barebones.
