[QUOTE="billybob00, post: 79375, member: 24716"] So I was thinking... since my computer has pretty much xbox-like specs (PIII 800 mhz, 512 RAM), and it's capable of playing back video... there really is no reason for me to upgrade and get a newer computer. All I'd have to do is get a video card that supports tv out (I have an s-video connector on my tv). Theoritcally, I could just get a wireless keyboard, and control windows from there. I guess my question is... is there a "lite" version of media portal for low-spec machines? I'm not looking to do anything crazy, like record live tv... all I want to do is play back video, and not even HD video at that... well, maybe DVD quality or such. I just need an easy-to-use interface, so I don't have to fumble around in windows explorer to select my files. So if I can get away with a skin that uses very little resources, that would be the way to go. Thanks [/QUOTE]
