I got carried away, before doing enough research. This is my HTPC:
Mac mini (late 2006), Firmware 2.1, T7200 - 2.00GHz CPU C2D, 4GB Ram,
240GB SSD, CrystalHD card, Mac OS X 10.9.5.
My original question was going to be, how do I know if the CrystalHD card is working or not with XBMC (Gotham)?
Before I posted, I did a search in the OS X section of the forum. From that reading I am wondering if I gone too far by installing OS X 10.9.5. So at this time what changes should I make to get the best performance from XBMC with this hardware? I did install XCode last night too but I’m not at home now so I cannot say if it was Xcode 3 or 4
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PS – My wife abandoned the Mini after buying a new apple laptop. Getting this rig up and running will replace my current Raspberry Pi set up.
Thank you in advance.
