There's so much on the market at de moment.
look for a quadcore CPU Witt also the Mali400 /450 (thuis is for the video importand)
and don't pay 150 dollars/euro's for it. I found ons for 60 dollar, free shipping in Hong kong, 1-3 days deliverytime
The same box Coast arround 130 on online websites.....

Streaming wifi is no issue if your router is OK and a decent internet connection :-)

GPU means nothing in Android for XBMC. Video playback is handled by a VPU that is often unrelated to the GPU.
