Hi all,
i'm kind a new to xbmc and want to set up my first media center with an old computer I have.
It's a p4 with an abit fatality AA8XE Intel Socket 775 motherboard. and fitted with GB of ram.
HD is not very important, because (when the set up is finished), all media will be streamed from a server.
the only thing I'm going to renew is my GPU, because I want one with a hdmi output.
Are there recommendations for a silent (and preferably cheap) graphic card?
it will probably host openelec, so a gpu that works great with linux would be nice.
If that's not possible, then I would go for a windows environment.
This is all to test xbmc and will be replaced later with a amd A6-3500 ( or a better one in the future).
