Rainbow  Will ATI Radeon X1600 2Ghz Intel Core Duo 2006 MacBook Pro (A1150) suffice for XBMC? Post: #1
I have an old 2006 MacBook Pro Model A1150 that I would like to use for XBMC.

Will this hardware be enough in anyone's experience?

Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Graphics: ATI Radeon X1600
VRAM 128MB

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how well it would run with those specs, but it should work. Make sure you have OS X 10.6 or newer (I think 10.6 is the last version supported for that processor).

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc

I have that model that I use just for portable entertainment. I've put an SSD in it and it flies. Runs XBMC just as well as anything else I have tried it on.
