Hey guys! I've been using XBMC/Kodi off and on for about 4 years now. A while back I bought an Asus Revo 3700 to use as an HTPC. I installed Windows on it and it ran decent for a while. As time went on, the whole system has slowed to a crawl and I'm tired of messing with it. I looked into upgrading the RAM, but apparently the Revo's are special and need a certain type of ram to work. Eventually I will upgrade completely and build a nice system, but for now I'm wondering if I could install OpenElec and wipe the Windows to increase the overall performance.
To be clear, I store all my media on an external HD and connect it through a USB 3.0. I don't do anything else with the computer but run Kodi. Would changing the OS and wiping Windows see me a performance boost?
I haven't messed with Linux much, but if this is as simple as it seems it's well worth it!
