Mini with Intel HD 3000 Graphics. - goofygames - 2012-06-02 00:31

Tried a search but could not find any useful info. Would a 2.3 Ghz i5 with 2Gb ram and an Intel HD graphics 3000 card be sufficient to run XBMC for HD videos and Blu-Ray rips with HD audio? Right now i have an NVidia GeForce 9400M that seems to work fine so far but lacks the HDMI port and hd audio ports.

I had put in some negative feedback on ID82. With a fresh install of the OS and careful selection of drivers, it is all perfect.

I'm not sure about Mac OS, but I can playback blu-ray rips using i5 with HD2000 on XBMC+Windows 7 PC with ease.......

Dont really want to spend another 150 just to upgrade to Nvidea but if it is worth it i will.

It will easily handle the video, but HD audio is up in the air at the moment due to some OS X things.
