I'm wanting to sort myself out a media centre pc, but it's all a bit costy at the moment, was thinking of upgrading my current PC, putting a 200gb hdd in it and 1gb of ram, it is currently running on xp pro, and the cpu is an amd duron 1100mhz. here's what i'd like to do.
Right, now the PC is in my bedroom, and alot of my programs I download and usually burn them to a cd-r to watch downstairs, but with 360 coming out on dec 2nd, I thought it'd be a good idea to sort my pc out if i can. I do not have a hi-def telly so would only be streaming standard def programs, so i'm hoping to have no trouble with that.
I do already have a TV card, which takes RF, composite and s-video in. So it's handy for my sky+ as i currently have that connected with s-video and am happy with it. it's just i'm reading MCE tends to be a bit funny with tv cards, but if it doesn't work as i said im not to bothered its mainly for streaming my downloaded programs to 360 in living room on the 32" Widescreen CRT.
Do u think it would be good enough to use as above with an upgrade of a 200gb hdd and 1gb of ram?
Anyone have any suggestions?
