My father has a PC in his office he gave me as he doesn't need it any more. I'm trying to see if it will work to run XBMC on it nicely. So I read these requirements: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...quirements and it looks like this PC is meeting the minimums (just barely I think). It has Windows XP on it.
Its a Dell Vostro 200 with E2180 2.00Ghz processor, 3GB RAM, and Nvidia GeForce 8300 GS video card. I hooked it up via Gigabit LAN, and tried a movie that's located on our home server. The results were a bit choppy. I verified network performance is fine. CPU is running at about 75%. I'm not sure how much the video card is running.
If I upgrade the video card, will it improve performance?
