Hello. I have an old laptop here that i would like to install XBMCbntu on and turn into a media box. The only problem i can see is that it has no HDMI port, only VGA.
Can i simply add a USB to HDMI adaptor and get full 1080P with support for all of the various surround sound tracks etc?
The specs are...
Intel Pentium ® M 1.73 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600
1GB RAM
Would this be a suitable machine for the job? I ran it "live" from a USB stick and it's very smooth, however, Blu Ray playback wasn't smooth at all. Is this because I'm running the OS "live" or because the hardware isn't supported/fully accelerated?
Any input is appreciated!
