I was hoping to use my old pc as a low cost HTPC and am wondering if it would work at all, and where to put the next $ 120:
1) Install Mediaportal on my current XPSP2 and buy a graphics card like ASUS GeForce 8500GT 512MB DDR2
2) Upgrade my XP to Windows XP - MCE
3) Upgrade to Vista Home Premium
I know it is probably one of the most repeated questions but your help is much appreciated
Windows Version: XP SP2
CPU Type: AMD 1.1MHz
HDD: 60Gb ( 20 Gb used) + 320Gb external ( 300 Gb used)
Memory: 1Gb (512 + 512)
Video Card: Not Yet decided
[Sound Card: HDA Digital - X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect
