Which is it... 1 GHz or 1.5 GHz C7? You list both. Both are *probably* too slow for HDTV. Look at the media portal suggested requirements for even standard TV and it isn't any too fast. The choice of using C# for media portal ups the CPU requirements quite a bit and if I were to knock anything about media portal... that would be it.
The audio output sounds ok (no pun intended).
Unichrome Pro II Graphics. Hmmm... that's a big unknown. They were promising HDTV support but it depends on how much built in hardware acceleration of video/audio features it includes and if it works with the way MediaPortal does things. It may work just fine if the software is specifically written for it.
This is totally a wild guess but...
Non-interlaced files that do not have to be scaled up or down to match the screen resolution *may* work. I say that because the CPU won't have to do as much. But *ANY* video scaling or deinterlacing will bring the thing to it's knees.
You should be able to listen to music and watch DVDs or DVD rips on such a system just fine with the proper settings.
